Mission Statement

HAF advances the understanding of Hinduism to secure the rights and dignity of Hindu Americans now and for generations to come.

About This Cause

HAF does this by providing 1) accurate and engaging educational resources about Hinduism and Hindu Americans, 2) impactful trainings, advocacy and services that protect and promote religious liberty, free expression, equality and justice and 3) critical and creative programs empowering Hindu Americans to sustain their culture and identity. We work with state boards of education and publishers to ensure Hinduism is portrayed accurately and fairly in public school textbooks. We supply teachers and students with training and supplementary resources to enhance their ability to teach and understand the Hindu tradition. We provide DEI trainings to law enforcement agencies, workplaces and college campuses. We educate policymakers and channel the concerns of the community on issues such as non-discrimination in the workplace and the right to display religious symbols. We pursue impact litigation and offer seminars and consultation services when the civil rights of Hindu Americans are at risk. We train Hindu Americans with the knowledge and skills to confidently talk about our teachings with their neighbors, colleagues, and friends. We support families with guides, toolkits and seminars to help them discuss Hinduism and Hindu issues with their children. HAF is a non-partisan, non-profit tax-exempt public charity pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)3.
