Alt+H is an organization dedicated to increasing awareness and acceptance of alterhuman people.

We strive to fairly represent people who identify as something other than human, or with an alternative human experience; and to help them fairly represent themselves. We want to bring to light the specific issues that alterhuman people face and begin to carve out spaces in society where they can get help with these things.

What We Do

We conduct surveys to assess attitudes towards alterhumanity and the needs of the communities. We also publish and promote quality adacdemic projects to legitimize alterhumanity in the public eye.

Research

We create and provide resources for explaining alterhuman identities, and the experiences that often accompany them. We also collate external resources on the history of alterhumanity and its related communities.

Educate

We provide spaces where alterhuman people can discuss their experiences and ideas. We also provide advice and information on how to deal with various aspects of living as alterhuman.

The latest news from the Alt+H team:

Alt+H has officially incorporated

As of a couple of days ago, we’re now registered as a company Limited by Guarantee, trading under the name Alt+H Limited. It’s not quite a charity, but we’re still a non-profit organization - you can see more reasoning and information about this in our last post.

Okay, cool - now what?

The primary motivation for doing this was to be able to open a business bank account so that money donated to Alt+H would only be for Alt+H and not touch our personal accounts. We’re working on that right now!

Before we ask you for anything, though, we want to spend some time laying out some solid financial goals. We have some idea of things we might need money for, but we need to be absolutely clear on how much of it is going where, and find a way to clearly communicate that to anyone who wants to know. We’ll be publishing some form of financial plan before we launch a Patreon or put up any donation links so you know exactly what you’re contributing to.

If you have opinions on what we should be putting money towards, or what we should be working on in general, let us know! You can check out our roadmap to get a feel for the plans we already have, and contact us by email, or on any of our social media channels, to give us your thoughts.

Thank you for sticking with us, even through the dull administrative stuff. This is a big step, and it sets the stage for us to help you and your communities in some big ways in the future! 🎉
