An invitation to co-create

Your gift plants seeds of Happytalism.

World Happiness Foundation is a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 47‑5591893). Every contribution is tax‑deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law and directly funds programs, scholarships and the Happytalism ecosystem.

Where every donation goes

All donations become training grants for underserved communities.

One hundred per cent of what you give funds scholarships and grants so people who could never pay tuition can train with the World Happiness Academy — coaches, educators, healthcare workers, caregivers and community leaders.

  • Grants cover Transpersonal Coaching, Chief Well-Being Officer and Meta Pets Method training.
  • They also open Teachers of Happiness and Schools of Happiness to educators and whole schools.
  • Awarded worldwide, in English and Spanish, with live weekly sessions included.
  • Graduates take the practice back into their own communities.

World Happiness Fest & Agoras

Global gatherings and local Agoras where Happytalistas convene, heal and co‑create — free or low‑cost for the community.

Heal the Healers

Your gift accompanies the people who care for others.

Heal the Healers is our invitation to mental-health professionals, healers and carers who hold others through hard seasons. Contributions to the Foundation help sustain that accompaniment where collaboration is open today — Colombia, Venezuela and the Nepal–Tibet region. Community accompaniment does not replace professional care or emergency services.

Colombia

An open collaboration opportunity for mental-health professionals who accompany healers, carers and community teams in Colombia. The scope is being defined together with local colleagues.

Venezuela

Our published work on Venezuela is the Dialogues for Fundamental Peace: a series of online gatherings for collective healing, compassionate inquiry and nonviolent transformation, beginning with a focus on Venezuela — as described by Luis Miguel Gallardo, Founder & President of the World Happiness Foundation. Heal the Healers extends that intention to the people who accompany others through it.

Nepal–Tibet

Devastating floods and landslides in the Nepal–Tibet region (August 2026) are affecting communities and the people who care for them. We are not publishing figures: they change constantly and we cannot keep them current. What we can offer is company for the carers, and we do so alongside the long relationship the Foundation holds with the Tibetan community.

Voices from the programmes

What Happytalistas say after walking the path.

Validated words from coaches, professionals and Chief Well-Being Officers who have taken part in our programmes, Fests and retreats.

  • Before engaging with the World Happiness Foundation, I often treated well-being as something separate from performance. The program helped me see that people do their best work when meaning, trust, and humanity are built into the way we lead. That insight changed both my coaching conversations and the results my clients pursue.

    Executive Coach|United States

  • The Foundation gave me language for something I had felt for years: real transformation begins inside, but it cannot end there. I now help leaders connect personal awareness with the cultures and communities they influence. My work feels deeper, more courageous, and more useful.

    Leadership Coach|Canada

  • I came looking for new coaching tools and found a much larger invitation - to accompany people toward lives of purpose, connection, and contribution. The program expanded my practice while reminding me why I became a coach in the first place.

    Professional Coach|Mexico

  • This experience shifted my attention from fixing isolated problems to creating the conditions in which people can flourish together. I listen differently now, ask braver questions, and help teams turn well-being from an aspiration into a shared way of working.

    Team Coach|Brazil

  • Many clients arrive wanting a new goal, but underneath they are searching for meaning. The Foundation's approach helped me hold both conversations at once. Clients can move forward practically while also reconnecting with who they are and what they want their lives to stand for.

    Career and Purpose Coach|Argentina

  • The program strengthened one of the most important capacities a coach can bring: presence. I learned to create more spacious conversations, trust the wisdom emerging in the room, and support change that feels aligned rather than imposed.
