impact
In our inaugural 2025-2026 year:
a) we will provide grants to four non-profits throughout the islands of Hawaiʻi. Each non-profit within one of our focus areas:
Culture, Land Sustainability, Education, and the Arts.
b) we will provide a professional development course to NPO leaders in Hawaiʻi focusing on supporting their fundraising efforts.
Together we will support non-profits who will continue their impact toward the future of the islands and the generations to come.
Whether you call one of the islands home, a frequent visitor of the land, or Kānaka… itʻs our Kuleana.
