Future Human Foundation

What Future Human Foundation does

Future Human Foundation (operating as Fuman.org) is a Canadian registered not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing education and innovation in emerging technologies—specifically Space Exploration, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Health—targeting young people. The foundation delivers its mission through a portfolio of free programs including the 'Space for Us!' online contest for Canadian high school students (team-based, 2–4 students supervised by a STEM or Career teacher, registration opened November 11, 2024, winners announced May 16, 2025), the 'Build Your Own Satellite Workshop,' and the 'Humanoid Conversation' program, complemented by educational resources, tutoring, scholarships, and industry mentorship connections.

The organization has no proprietary technology platform; program delivery is conducted through a self-serve online registration/submission system for the contest and event-based workshops. No mobile app, public API, SDK, or documented integrations are disclosed. Core technology dependencies appear limited to standard web content management for fuman.org and social media platforms (Instagram, X, Facebook) for community engagement. The organization claims a global footprint but operational programming is anchored in Canada, with the Space for Us! contest explicitly restricted to Canadian high school students.

The business model is donation-driven and non-commercial. Revenue is generated entirely through individual donations via the fuman.org donation page (suggested tiers of $10, $25, $50, $100, plus a custom 'Other' option), with no paid products, services, or subscription tiers. The only disclosed corporate partner is Innovimia Technologies Inc., which co-hosts the flagship contest and contributes prize funding ($1,000 per top-three team). Leadership comprises President Nasrin Beiki (20+ years in education and media production) and Vice President Farzad Khandan (PhD in Futures Studies, background in information technology); no further staff, board composition, institutional donors, or audited financials are disclosed.

Emerging players

• Technovation: Technovation is a global nonprofit running youth technology entrepreneurship competitions — closely comparable to Fuman's contest-driven youth engagement format, while focusing on a specific use case (girls in tech entrepreneurship).
• Black Girls Code: Black Girls Code is a nonprofit providing technology education to underrepresented youth through workshops and programs — comparable to Fuman's hands-on learning and mentorship model for underserved young technology enthusiasts.

Direct peers

• Actua: Actua is Canada's largest youth STEM outreach nonprofit, delivering hands-on science, technology, engineering, and math programs to young people — directly comparable to Fuman's youth-focused emerging-tech education mission in the same Canadian market.
• Let's Talk Science: Let's Talk Science is a Canadian national charitable organization delivering STEM education programs and resources to youth from kindergarten through grade 12 — directly comparable in nonprofit structure, youth STEM focus, and Canadian footprint.
• STEM Canada: STEM Canada is a Canadian nonprofit that delivers STEM enrichment programs, competitions, and camps for youth, including teacher-supervised formats — closely mirroring Fuman's teacher-mediated contest model and Canadian youth STEM focus.
