Foundation (DRIF)
The Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (DRIF),
a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, is the organization
of choice for those who are serious, passionate and
committed to preventing and curing diabetes. Our mission –
to provide the Diabetes Research Institute with the funding
necessary to advance critical research – is a testament to
the belief that tomorrow is not soon enough to change the
lives of people living with diabetes.
The Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) is a comprehensive,
multidisciplinary research center and recognized world
leader in the field. By working in close collaboration with
cure-focused partners in real-time across the globe, we can
accelerate the pace of discovery and ensure that the best
ideas are quickly translated into actionable clinical
research.
DRI Foundation donors support researchers with funding
necessary to initiate critical cure-focused research and
better position our scientists to compete for additional
research funding. Donor support is also an important source
of bridge funding, which researchers utilize to cover
funding gaps and to accelerate the translation of novel
research into transformational therapies for
patients. Private philanthropic support is the backbone of
the DRI's ability to innovate. For more information, please
