Welcome to our Monthly Giving community
Thank you for supporting Canadians with type 1 diabetes (T1D)
Your monthly gift is already making a difference
As a member of our monthly giving community, you are playing a vital role in supporting T1D research and the more than 300,000 Canadians living with this disease.
Benefits of being a monthly donor
- Your monthly gift provides consistent funding that supports the most promising T1D research
- Your donation is multiplied through our collaboration with other research funders, government funding agencies and academia
- It’s more affordable than a larger one-time annual gift
- It’s flexible and more convenient, you never have to think about when its time to give
- Greater impact: while individual monthly donations might be lower than a one-time gift, they accumulate over time, resulting in a more substantial overall contribution and more dollars to our mission
- You’re more engaged and informed – we will provide touchpoints to let you know how your donations are being used for maximum impact on T1D research and supporting Canadians affected by the disease
Your impact has already started
Thank you for joining a movement that supports the estimated 300,000 Canadians living with T1D.
By being a monthly donor, you are helping to fund research into:
- Cell replacement therapies that are a potential pathway to cures
- Disease-modifying therapies that can make living with the disease safer and lead to better health outcomes
- Developing better, smaller, less intrusive diabetes devices
- Advancing next-generation insulins and other drugs that improve glucose control
- Reducing the risk and treatment of T1D complications
- Programs devoted to improving mental health care and outcomes for people with T1D.
- Early detection and prevention through screening
Your donation also helps to support that connect people in the T1D community together and help newly diagnosed individuals and families better adapt to their new normal and provide support throughout their unique T1D journey.
Meet JoAnna, National Manager, Annual Giving.
“My name is JoAnna, National Manager, Annual Giving for Breakthrough T1D Canada. Thank you so much for joining our community of monthly donors. Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) is the leading global type 1 diabetes (T1D) research and advocacy organization. As we drive toward curing T1D, we help make every day better for the people who live with it.
Our focus was and remains on finding cures for type 1 diabetes (T1D); since then, the organization has helped to fund research that has led to innovation and evolution of treatments that improve the quality of life for people living with T1D. Our ultimate goal is a future without T1D, while we work to improve lives today and tomorrow by accelerating life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat T1D and its complications.”
What your support means
Breakthrough T1D Canada works every day to change the reality of this disease for those living with it now—and to prevent anyone else from ever being diagnosed —by funding research, advocating for government support of research and improved access, ensuring new therapies come to market and connecting and engaging the T1D community.
And we can’t do it without you. Thank you for joining the movement and strengthening our shared goal of a world free from T1D.
