Team Up Against Diabetes

Team Up Against Diabetes

Over the past five years, Sun Life has donated $17 million to the prevention of diabetes. Sun Life started its commitment to the diabetes cause in 2012. Since then we have sought out partnerships that have helped facilitate that support, such as the Boston Celtics, Kansas City Royals, YMCA, and American Diabetes Association.

As our commitment grew, we decided to develop a way in which we could directly engage with community organizations and support them in their efforts to improve people's health, prevent type 2 diabetes, and help those living with type 1 diabetes, and in 2016 we launched the Team Up Against Diabetes grant program.

Sun Life’s Team Up Against Diabetes grant program aims to provide programmatic support to 501(c)(3) charities that focus on the following areas:

diabetes prevention, awareness, education, and care

diabetes management

recovery and support from diabetes-related complications

obesity prevention

nutritional programs—education, management, and awareness

Organizations will have the opportunity to select from three grant options: $25,000, $50,000 or $100,000.
