The Skinny Gene Project is a San Diego–based nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing type 2 diabetes. As a division of the J.Moss Foundation, it operates within the wellness and fitness services sphere, focusing on education, resources, and support to help individuals who are at risk adopt and sustain healthier lifestyles. The organization aims to enable long-term social, environmental, and behavioral changes that reduce the onset of diabetes, addressing a population segment that faces elevated risk for the condition. With a workforce described in the mid-single to small-teams range, the project positions itself as a community-oriented program that complements broader public health efforts in the region. A notable recent development is its recognition in local media for securing a six-figure impact loan, reflecting ongoing collaboration with mission-driven financial partners to further its preventive work.
