Community Funds

Welcome to Happiness House, a cornerstone of care and connection in the Wakatipu Basin.

 

For decades, Happiness House has been a safe haven for individuals and families in need, offering vital support services, resources, and a warm, welcoming environment. From counseling and advocacy to emergency assistance and community programs, Happiness House strives to make life a little brighter for everyone who walks through their doors.

​

Why Happiness House Matters

Happiness House is more than a community hub—it’s a lifeline for many in the Queenstown Lakes District. Whether it’s providing food parcels, supporting mental health, or simply being there for a chat, Happiness House services empower people to overcome challenges and find hope.

Their work wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of donors and the strength of community partnerships. Every contribution enables us to respond to the growing needs of our community with compassion and care.

​

The Happiness House Endowment Fund

To ensure their impact continues for generations, in 2018 Happiness House established an Endowment Fund with the Wakatipu Community Foundation. The aim of this fund is to provide a sustainable financial foundation for generations to come.

By donating to the endowment fund, you’re investing in the long-term wellbeing of the Wakatipu region. Your gift will be invested, and generate ongoing income for Happiness House to enable them to continue their important work.
