Pillar 2: Youth Ambassadors
Invest in Youth-Led Breakthroughs
When you fund student-led innovation, you’re not just supporting research — you’re fueling the future of diabetes research, treatment, and support.
- $500 → Funds a Student Research Mini-Grant for a youth-led Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) project
- $1,500 → Sponsors a KFD Internship placement in a lab, clinic, or policy organization
- $3,000 → Underwrites a Research Challenge Award, helping students turn bold ideas into working prototypes
- $5,000 → Supports five youth research mini-grants or three internships
Young people bring passion, urgency, and fresh ideas to the table — and your donation helps turn their ideas into impact. By investing in youth-led research and leadership, you’re seeding the next generation of changemakers in diabetes innovation.
The Kopp Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization (EIN: 33-3787810). Your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
