Hindu American Foundation

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

We do this by providing: • accurate and engaging educational resources about Hinduism and Hindu Americans • impactful trainings, advocacy and services that protect and promote religious liberty, free expression, equality and justice • critical and creative programs empowering Hindu Americans to sustain their culture and identity

HAF is politically agnostic and non-partisan, meaning we’re informed, but do not favor and cannot endorse any one political party or any candidates. We will work with all individuals and institutions who embrace integrity and reason and are constructively engaged in promoting dignity, freedom, equality and justice.

HAF is not affiliated with any religious or political organizations or entities. HAF seeks to serve Hindu Americans across all sampradaya (Hindu religious traditions) regardless of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, ancestry, citizenship, gender, sexual orientation, age and/or disability.

Our positions are based on a relentless pursuit of facts; deep consideration of Hindu principles and American values, such as pluralism, freedom, equality, and justice; and the input of subject matter experts. If we like a policy, we’ll say so, and rigorously substantiate our position.
