We’re not shy – we’re flaunting it! Forbes has chosen Breakthrough T1D as an “all-star” organization who deserves your charitable dollars. We received top rankings for efficiency! Of course, it doesn’t surprise us that we were chosen by Forbes. More than 80 percent of Breakthrough T1D’s expenditures directly support research and research-related education. Here is what the magazine says about Breakthrough T1D in their November 19, 2012 issue:

“Some single-disease charities spend a lot of money soliciting contributions by mail. Breakthrough T1D (it recently renamed itself from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to reflect the varied ages of Type 1 diabetes patients) holds down costs by relying on a network of volunteers–everyone from International Chairman Mary Tyler Moore to “advocates” who lobby Congress for diabetes funding to elementary school kids taking part in the fundraising walks that helped it raise $198 million last year. CEO Jeffrey Brewer touts new Web tools for volunteers. Meanwhile, Breakthrough T1D directs its big bucks to medical research.”

It has never been so easy to help Breakthrough T1D fund research for better treatments, prevention, and a cure for T1D. We are constantly looking for even more efficient ways to put your charitable dollars where they are most needed – in research.
