Site Sponsors
We provide assistance to qualifying persons with diabetes throughout the United States.
iPump.org, Inc. is still new but growing. Our day-to-day operations are handled entirely by one full-time volunteer, Lahle Wolfe.
Ms. Wolfe processes all applications, fulfills all orders, sews quilts, and inventories donations. She also maintains this website in addition to performing all iPump's administrative tasks including fundraising and corporate filings.
If you wish to volunteer or make a donation please write to her at Lahle@iPump.org.
Although small, we are dedicated to helping as many persons with diabetes as we possibly can. Your support ensures not only our success, but the success of those we help in their own personal cause of better managing their diabetes.
| How and Who We Have Helped |
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

In 2007 95.02% of all funds spent were given directly to others in need. Our combined program administration costs and business operating expenses were only 4.98% of our expenses. |

| Discount Diabetes Supplies |
Sometimes we have to purchase supplies. Because our funding is so limited we need to use the cheapest sources possible. We have been using Hocks Online for a while and were pleased with their service and prices. Because of our good relationship with Hocks we agreed to accept them as iPump's first affiliate sponsor. While it is not our policy to specifically endorse or recommend any company, we can state that we do use Hocks Online, and that for any order you place through one of their links on our site, they will make a donation to us.
Thank you Hocks, for contributing to our cause!
Where can I donate spare diabetes supplies, insulin pumps, and insulin pump supplies?
iPump, of course! We take donations of diabetes supplies, insulin pumps, and pump supplies and give them away free, to other people who have diabetes and cannot afford supplies on their own.
Even sending a vial test strips goes a long way toward helping others because it all adds up!
We urgently need cash donations. iPump has outgrown its office space in our founder's garage and has become more than a full-time job for our one volunteer. Please help us to continue assisting others by giving generously. We need office space as well as need to hire a full-time executive director. Our volunteer executive director has put in more than 5,000 hours of volunteer time but cannot continue to do this indefinitely. Also, many grants and foundations require that we have at least one-full time employee performing key functions in order to qualify for funding.
