Strengthening Families.

Fostering Self-Reliance.

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.

Our Vision

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.

Our Mission

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.

 

Rooted at the intersection of mental health, social justice, and faith, the foundation embraces a holistic approach to fostering stability, healing, and empowerment.

Announcements

Backpacks & Cuts

​

Last year’s Backpacks & Cuts event was a beautiful success — a true reflection of what community care looks like in action. Together, we served over 100 people, giving away free backpacks filled with school supplies and gender-affirming products, offered free haircuts, served meals, and created a space of love, healing, and connection for youth and families across Los Angeles.

​

We’re already preparing for Backpacks & Cuts 2026 — and we need your help to make it even bigger and better! 💛

 

Your donations, whether monetary or in-kind (school supplies, backpacks, hygiene kits, refreshments, etc), help us equip more students, support local barbers and stylists, and build the kind of community our kids deserve.

​

Give today and help us make next year unforgettable!
