The Happy Community Project enables people to build Happy Communities.
Donations financially help the Happy Community Project. It’s that simple.
Every dollar of your financial support goes to address immediate and pressing needs, which include
- the refinement of new Happy Community Project training materials (the “toolkit”), and
- the awarding of training scholarships for aspiring Happy Community Project community champions who have achieved a promisingly high level of performance on an initial training module.
Some people support us with as little as $10.00. Some have supported us with as much as $2,000 while others provide monthly contributions. Whatever support your can offer will make a difference to our communities. It enables people to build communities that have stronger social connectedness, belonging and caring for each other.
The Happy Community Project’s only source of funding is from people who enroll in our programs and from people like yourself who sponsor our efforts. Happy Community Project is a social enterprise so does not have registered charity status and is unable to issue tax receipts.

Who Are We?
The Happy Community Project is a simple, proven way to bring back caring and connection to communities. It provides the tools communities need to change from “What happened to us?” to “What a great place to live!”
The Friends of the Happy Community Project (FHCP) is a federally incorporated not-for-profit organization (number 1094872-1) that supports, encourages and facilitates the goals and initiatives of the Happy Community Project. With the help of the Happy Community Project, communities are reshaped by their own residents who develop a sense of belonging and strong social connections in the community, and who contribute to a genuinely caring culture. This is important for the mental, social and economic wellbeing of all of us.
Although FHCP is a not-for-profit organization, it does not at this time have charitable status and, accordingly, we are unable to provide tax deduction receipts.
“The Happy Community Project is bringing people out, getting people involved, turning negatives into positives. When you see 20,000 people taking a negative tone and now taking a positive tone, that’s remarkable.”
“Community is important for so many reasons. I believe the greatness of a community is measured by the actions of its people and businesses. As a proud member of the Sackville community we would gratefully donate to and support the Happy Community Project”
How Your Contributions Help
Community Projects
Communities become stronger when people do things with each other. Your support enables us to help communities develop projects that bring people together, projects like Farmer’s Market, Movies in the Park and Corn Boil Challenge.
Technology
Technology is not a substitute for face-to-face encounters, but it can make it easier to bring people together in communities where they feel they belong and have the support of each other. Your support enable us to subscribe to technologies and develop new ones like the Good Neighbour app, the Sense of Community app and the Happy Community Quest app.
Reaching Around the World
Not all communities have access to the funds required to provide support, and resources that can make them happier communities. Your support enables us to reach out to communities like Kabele Uganda as well as Ellershouse Canada with support that they would have never been able to access.
“We support and have become a partner with the Happy Community Project as it connects to our office belief of being part of the community in the Hydrostone Area. At a time when it is easy to have 100s of friends on Facebook and not know your neighbour across the street it is time to build up the communities with connections to make them stronger.”
Recognition & Partners
We have proven the effectiveness of the Happy Community Project Tool Kit. Our success has been recognized internationally by several universities and organizations. Our partners are critical to our success.
