Corporate Partners
JDRF corporate teams & partners consistently go above and beyond to raise money for type 1 diabetes research.
And we can't thank them enough.
Their generosity increases the amount of research JDRF can fund—and accelerates life–changing breakthroughs towards a cure. Our partners welcome us into their corporate families and make JDRF a part of their culture. They encourage their employees to fundraise by forming corporate JDRF One Walk® teams, volunteering their time through local events, taking on leadership roles, and engaging their customers and vendors on our behalf. We thank each of our partners and their communities for their commitment to creating a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Looking for a meaningful way to increase employee engagement, unify your team and build camaraderie?
Forming a JDRF One Walk Corporate Team can help you do just that! In addition to supporting your employees, JDRF One Walk allows you to create positive change in your community—and reach your organization's philanthropic goals.
JDRF will provide excellent resources, support and strategies that are customized to fit the unique needs of your organization. We welcome your partnership and will work with you to develop the best possible engagement experience for your employees.
If you are interested in forming a JDRF One Walk Corporate Team or want to learn more about becoming a national sponsor, please email walk@jdrf.org.

We look forward to working with you!

Our Elite Partners contribute more than $2 million each year to fund life–changing T1D research. The dedication and support of their employees, customers, and vendors help us get even closer to a world without T1D.
Ford Motor Company has supported JDRF since 1983. In 1998, Ford expanded this relationship with the creation of the employee-driven Ford Global Action Team for JDRF (FGAT), combining the passion and power of Ford employees, families and friends, as well as key business partners from the UAW, WPP, BP, and Ford and Lincoln dealerships. With tens of thousands of volunteers working together to fundraise, the FGAT has averaged more than $3.5 million annually for the past 20 years. Under the leadership of Edsel B. Ford II, and more than 90 fundraising teams across 40 global sites, Ford has raised over $70 million to fund JDRF research.

Lilly—a global leader in diabetes care—has been a longstanding JDRF corporate partner for more than 20 years, supporting key JDRF mission–focused research, programs and activities across the globe. Through our national partnership, JDRF and Lilly are helping children, teens and their caregivers feel empowered to live full and active lives with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We’re doing this by providing meaningful education and support resources like the JDRF Bag of Hope and Back to School materials and in–person education at our TypeOneNation Summits to the T1D community, and through support of the JDRF One Walk® that engages Lilly employees across the country through a national walk team.
