Together for Better Tomorrows
KiCares Research Institute funds, supports, and accelerates the science behind diabetes prevention, early detection, treatment, and cure — bringing researchers, clinicians, and philanthropy together to defeat one of the greatest health challenges of our time.
Funding science. Multiplying impact.
Every dollar we raise is deployed into research, partnerships, and patient programs that move the field forward.
A national crisis that demands collaborative innovation.
More than 38 million Americans live with diabetes today, and millions more remain undiagnosed or at elevated risk. Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, cardiovascular disease, and amputations — yet Type 1 diabetes still has no cure, and the global burden continues to grow.
Early detection and intervention dramatically improve outcomes. The science to change this trajectory is within reach — but only if research is funded with urgency, and only if the right partners are working together. That's the gap KiCares exists to close.
Three pillars. One mission.
Scientific breakthroughs are only possible through collaboration between researchers, healthcare providers, institutions, industry partners, and philanthropic organizations. KiCares is the connective tissue that makes that collaboration possible at scale.
