Overview
Mission
To support and empower people living with type one diabetes.

School wellness program: we support students in southwest Michigan with their diabetes management by offering monthly check-ins, providing support to school staff, collaborating with school nurses on support plans, and offering classroom education on supporting classmates with type 1 diabetes.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 84% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
