Mission Statement
The Beta Cell Foundation funds grassroots projects developed and run by individuals living with type 1 diabetes to educate, empower, and unite the type 1 diabetes community.
About This Cause
We believe that everyone living with type 1 diabetes should have the opportunity to bring their community together in their own way. What does that mean? Right now, if you want to make a short film about type 1, organize a camping trip to show kids to how to manage blood sugars in the outdoors, or host a cooking class in your town to teach nutrition, you have to pay for it yourself. And that means the only people who are able create these things are people who have the money to do it. So just a small group of people are the ones dictating what we all get and it’s only a few similar things. And they probably aren’t what most of us actually need. We want to change that. We want to fund your community building projects for you. We need creative ideas that help us live with this disease right now, whether that’s tackling exercise, mental health, pregnancy, advocacy, or whatever else you can think of. Projects that will actually help you and your local community. We need these ideas from a more diverse group of people and from people who actually live with type 1. We want to make change inclusive because we know that all of our needs are different and important. To make sure we fund as many projects as possible, our leadership members are all unpaid volunteers, our finances are transparent, and we won’t accept money from the big three insulin manufacturers. Ever. Only by embracing and empowering everyone living with type 1 diabetes can we build a truly inclusive and supportive community.
