Our mission
Happy Gives Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity that funds music education for children in K–12 schools. We raise charitable contributions through partnerships with mission-aligned businesses, and direct those funds to organizations that put instruments, instruction, and artist-led creative programming in front of students — with a focus on schools where arts and music funding has been cut back or was never there to begin with.
Our first initiative is a partnership with Gen C Coffee and Bloom Arts Foundation, with a goal of raising $1,000,000 for music programs in schools.
Students in schools where music has been cut
K–12 students in schools where music and arts programming has been reduced, underfunded, or unavailable.
We do not ask students or families to pay for access. Support reaches them through the schools and the arts education organizations already working with them.
A Tennessee-based public charity
Happy Gives Foundation is based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. The Foundation is founder-led and runs a single, focused first initiative rather than spreading itself thin across many causes.
See what we fund →Raise, grant, deliver.
Happy Gives Foundation does not run classrooms. We raise charitable contributions through partnerships with mission-aligned businesses, we grant those funds to arts education organizations that already deliver music programming inside schools, and those partners put instruments, instruction, and artist-led sessions in front of students. Three roles, one path, no guesswork about where a gift goes.

The person behind this.
Happy Montana is a songwriter, founder, creator, and inspirer who believes deeply in the power of art to change lives. He spent years volunteering with The Art of Elysium, where he shared music with thousands of kids and saw firsthand how creativity can bring comfort, connection, and hope.
That same spirit carries through everything he creates — from music to purpose driven ventures built to spark more beauty, joy, and possibility in the world.
