About The diaTribe Foundation

The diatribe Foundation is fiercely committed to improving the lives of people living with diabetes. Currently, one in seven adults in the United States has diabetes and one in three has prediabetes. By 2040, it is estimated that over 640 million adults worldwide will have diabetes. To fight this growing crisis, the diatribe Foundation is on a mission to improve the lives of people with diabetes and prediabetes and to advocate for action.

A growing national nonprofit organization founded in 2013 by renowned diabetes advocate Kelly Close, we are creating a societal shift in which reducing the burdens of diabetes, or eliminating the disease entirely, becomes a priority for everyone including clinicians, scientists, governments, nonprofits, businesses, and people with diabetes. Because there is no single solution to address diabetes, the diaTribe Foundation uses both education and advocacy to address type 2, type 1, and prediabetes and to change existing diabetes narratives.

We have been able to amplify our impact thanks to an exceptionally robust growth in funds raised every year since our founding. With a current budget of $4.2M and continued growth planned, this is an exciting time to join the team and be part of real impact in the diabetes space.
