About Orijin Foundation
A Tampa-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to health, wellness, and empowerment for underserved and Afro-descendant communities.
Our Mission
Fighting Disparities. Building Community.
Orijin Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization committed to addressing health, social, and economic disparities affecting underserved communities — with a particular focus on Afro-descendant populations in the Tampa Bay area and beyond.
Through culturally responsive programming, community partnerships, and grassroots advocacy, we work to create lasting change by equipping individuals with the tools, resources, and support they need to thrive.

A World Without Disparities
We envision a world where every person — regardless of race, background, or zip code — has equitable access to health, wellness, education, and economic opportunity.
Orijin Foundation strives to be a catalyst for that change, one community at a time.
