"It was 1983 when my wife, Mary, finally succumbed to her lifelong struggle with type 1 diabetes. Before she passed, I promised her that I would find a cure for this terrible disease within my lifetime. Since then, we've made some incredible progress. But as proud as I am of the work my staff and our Iacocca Foundation-funded researchers have done, there is much work yet to be done. I ask you to support our aggressive cure research by making a donation to The Iacocca Foundation today."

NEW - With the expansion of JoinLeeNow, please designate your donations "Nathan-Faustman project" OR "diabetes research." This is effective with donations beginning August 2006. Through the end of 2006, all non-designated donations were given to the Nathan-Faustman project. Beginning January 1, 2007, all non-designated donations will be given to our general diabetes fund, for other projects.


The Iacocca Foundation strives to make donating online safe, easy and secure, but also as convenient as possible. We are excited to share that you can now donate using an online check in addition to the existing credit card processing. This option is especially effective for larger donations where you can minimize transaction fees.
