  The American Institute of Bisexuality (AIB) is a charity founded on July 23, 1998, by sex researcher, psychiatrist and bisexual rights activist Fritz Klein to promote research and education about bisexuality.
  
  AIB produces the Journal of Bisexuality, a quarterly academic journal focusing on issues relating to bisexuality. In addition, it runs bi.org, an education and outreach site for the general public, which provides accessible, science-based information on (bi)sexuality and helps create bi visibility by highlighting the lives of both famous and everyday bi people.
  
  AIB maintains a division known as the Bi Foundation that conducts outreach, community building, and education across the globe. The Institute is a Delaware non-profit corporation qualified for tax purposes as a private foundation under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
  
  AIB offers grants toward research and programming related to bisexuality.
