JDRF's mission is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through research support, and to develop new treatments that improve lives and keep people healthy until a cure is found. More than 80% of JDRF's expenditures directly fund research and education, with $100.8 million spent in 2009 on immune therapies, beta cell therapies, glucose control, and complications therapies. The ADA's mission is to prevent and cure diabetes and improve lives of all affected, and 75% of every dollar supports research, advocacy, and services for people with diabetes.
