IAM COMMUNITY PROJECT
On March 28th, we are proud to officially launch two IAM Foundations: The IAM Foundation for the Arts and The Elvis Francois Foundation for Cancer Research. These foundations represent the heart of IAM International’s mission. The IAM Foundation for the Arts is dedicated to providing access, scholarships, and support to emerging artists around the world who face financial barriers, ensuring that talent is never limited by circumstance. The Elvis Francois Foundation for Cancer Research, created in memory of our founder Jake Francois’s father, will fund groundbreaking cancer research and initiatives, supporting families and communities impacted by this disease. Together, these foundations will not only honor legacy and creativity but also empower individuals and communities globally, using the transformative power of art to heal, inspire, and make a lasting impact.
At IAM, we believe in the power of acting to heal, empower, and transform lives. Our Global Acting & Community Program brings underprivileged individuals, adults and children facing extraordinary challenges; terminal illness patient, individual in shelters, ex prisoners, teenagers and young adults who failed the traditional school method, individual on verge of suicide and those who went through trauma, a safe space to rebuild confidence, express themselves, and rediscover hope. One main goals of IAM is to contribute to cancer and other serious illness research.
Through acting therapy, we help people reconnect with themselves, regain emotional strength, and bring joy back into their lives. Some may even be noticed by industry professionals a rare bonus but the heart of the program is healing and empowerment.
