Invisible Illness Awareness Network Nfp

Invisible Illness Awareness Network is an entirely volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness of invisible illnesses, chronic illnesses, and Disabilities through education, advocacy, and community-building. With affiliates across the country and a growing digital presence, IIAN empowers young people, especially students and emerging advocates, to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and foster inclusive, accessible spaces for those living with chronic conditions that often go unseen.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for patients and families affected by invisible illnesses, helping to decrease diagnostic delay in care. We want to help drive institutional change by educating current and future healthcare professionals to better recognize, understand, and treat invisible conditions. Additionally, we want to help the general population become more aware of invisible illnesses and their real-life impact.
