The I Am Human Foundation

Empowering Lives One Human At A Time

Our Mission

The I Am Human Foundation is a national, Black trans-led nonprofit. We ensure that Black and brown communities, especially LGBTQ+ communities, have the care, resources, and dignity every human deserves. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia with a second office opening in San Francisco in 2026, we run peer-led programs across six focus areas: health and wellness, workforce development, youth programs, trans and gender non-conforming services, civic engagement, and harm reduction.

Our work is grounded in three commitments. Lived experience belongs in the room. Mental and physical health are inseparable. Joy is a clinical intervention. Every program we deliver, from HIV navigation to cancer screening, from workforce pathways to retreat-based healing, is built by and for the communities we serve.
