    Everyone deserves a safe place to call their home and the chance to make their dreams a reality.

  • Manifesto

    People who say WE can’t change the world ARE wrong. 

    We will make some noise and cause a scene! 

    We will challenge each other and the world & will stop pointless judgment. 

    We know that the people sleeping on the sidewalk could have been us or our

    closest friends if our lives were just a little bit different.

    And the people we see sleeping on the sidewalk COULD be our friends if we gave them the chance. 

    It’s time for us to speak up for the people in our streets, our cities, our world. 

    It’s time for us to grow our passion, shine bright and change the future.

    John Lennon said it best: “A dream you dream alone is only a dream.

    A dream you dream together is a reality.” 

    It is essential to our lives to do good for others!

    The only way we can truly be happy is if we are making others happy! 

    That is this Hippie's goal!

  • FAQ

    Where do donations go?

    Donations made to the Happy Hippie Foundation fund programs that support homeless youth, LGBTQ youth and other vulnerable populations. We are currently fundraising to create digital support groups for LGBTQ youth and their families. These groups remotely offer the proven services of physical support groups, providing a personal, moderated, safe and affirming experience while also providing legal and medical resources. Participants will be able to join support groups by video (which is new, or by phone / chat if they feel more comfortable). Every $15 provides one LGBTQ youth with digital support groups for a year, so that they can access critical resources, help and community no matter where they live.

     

    Who do you help?

    The Happy Hippie Foundation provides homeless youth, LGBTQ youth and other vulnerable youth populations with consistent support services, education and employment opportunities. Our programs reach at-risk and disproportionately affected populations such as youth aging out of foster care.

     

     

    What do your programs actually do?

    The Happy Hippie Foundation’s programs help youth achieve positive outcomes in life. Our program areas include prevention, crisis response to meet basic immediate needs, support services to build long-term well-being, and public education to engage young people globally in systemic change through fundraising and awareness campaigns.

     

     

    What makes Happy Hippie Foundation different?

    We believe in the power of young people to change the world. We challenge injustice, even when it’s controversial. We know that we are stronger together when we raise our voices and take action to make an impact.
