Our Story

Built on a Belief That Communities Can Thrive

For nearly three decades, the Projects Humana Foundation has partnered with nonprofits, community leaders, and changemakers to build a more equitable world — one grant at a time.

Our History

Projects Humana Foundation was established in 2021 by Founder and Director George Michael Nasif as the philanthropic arm of Secure Social Media Inc, with a founding commitment to improve education and health outcomes as and expand opportunity for people in the communities where Projects Humana operates throughout the United States.

Since 2021, we have awarded grants to nonprofit organizations across the United States. Our grantmaking has evolved alongside the communities we serve — expanding from health-focused initiatives into education, economic empowerment, and environmental resilience.

Today, the Foundation operates as an independent philanthropic entity, Tax Exempt 501(c)(3) guided by a volunteer board of directors and a dedicated professional staff. We remain committed to the principle that lasting change requires long-term investment, rigorous evaluation, and deep community partnership.

Mission & Values

"To invest in the health, education, and economic well-being of the communities we serve — with rigor, transparency, and a deep respect for the people doing the work."

Equity

We prioritize communities and populations that have been historically underinvested. Equity is not a program — it is the lens through which every decision is made.

Transparency

We publish our financials, grant data, and impact reports annually. We believe accountability to the public is inseparable from our mission.

Partnership

We treat grantees as partners, not recipients. The best solutions come from the communities experiencing the problems — our role is to resource and amplify.

Rigor

We invest in evaluation and learning because we believe the sector deserves honest answers about what works. We share what we learn, including our failures.

Leadership

Our volunteer board of directors brings deep expertise in public health, nonprofit management, finance, and community development.
