Happy Pappy Foundation

The Happy Pappy Foundation is a community-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to strengthening youth and families. We uplift underrepresented populations through art, education, and community care by cultivating spaces where folx feel seen, supported, and connected.

HPF empowers families in the San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles with art, education, mental health support, and collective care. Together, we build resilience, nurture hope, and create thriving communities for generations to come. We envision a future where every youth and family has the opportunity to heal, create, and thrive. We see a world where underrepresented voices are uplifted, communities are connected through collective care, and belonging is a shared experience for all.

Guided by principles of faith, responsibility, and service, we support Black, Brown, and LGBTQIA+ individuals and families navigating challenges related to mental health, education, and economic stability. By equipping those we serve with the tools and resources they need to thrive, we aim to foster hope, resilience, and self-sufficiency that extends across generations.
