ABOUT US:

The Utopia Foundation, Inc ("UF") is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to ease the pressure of financial hardship, combat the ever-growing housing crisis, and create resources that serve as a catalyst for economic advancement for individuals and communities at large in order to achieve sustainable social change. Our goal is to obtain land and develop environmentally friendly (green) 1- and 2-bedroom housing complexes for financially strained individuals and families for up to one year free of charge. Residents of Utopia will also receive free or reduced-priced groceries, job training and workshops, as well as other services during their stay. We will also assist our beneficiaries by providing professional, strategic, philanthropic financial consulting and planning services (including investing, homeowners' classes, debt payoff plans, etc.) in order to ensure recipients are prepared when their time in Utopia has come to an end.

Due to the current crisis our country is experiencing, as a result of Covid-19, we realize that the need has grown exponentially, and our goals will in turn need to expand to include helping those experiencing hardship as a result of the pandemic. It is the goal of UF to help citizens in the Miami area, and around the country, experiencing food insecurity and facing evictions.

UF is a grassroots organization currently in need of volunteers. UF is interested in adding team members who can help the organization achieve the scale necessary to accomplish our mission. As we grow, the most dedicated and impactful volunteers may be considered for full time positions in the future.
