Humanis Verum Foundation is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation committed to improving the quality, accountability, and humanity of services provided to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through education, independent quality standards, advocacy, provider support, and community-based programs, we work to promote dignity, meaningful choice, inclusion, and lives of greater independence and purpose.
Our mission is to advance dignity, safety, accountability, inclusion, and meaningful quality of life for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities by strengthening service providers, educating professionals and communities, promoting person-centered standards, and supporting individuals and families through advocacy and practical resources.
We envision communities in which individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are respected, heard, supported, and empowered to live meaningful lives with genuine choice, safety, belonging, and opportunity.
Every person has inherent worth and deserves to be treated with compassion, fairness, privacy, and respect.
We promote honest, responsible, and transparent practices that place the well-being of individuals above convenience or profit.
We support meaningful personal choice, community participation, self-determination, and opportunities for every individual to belong and thrive.
Humanis Verum represents “Truth in Humanity.” The name reflects our belief that every person possesses inherent worth and that genuine human service must be grounded in truth, dignity, compassion, responsibility, and respect for the individual.
