Mission
We support community-led initiatives in Hawaiʻi by providing grants and resources to non-profits focused on culture, land, education, and the arts.
Vision
To cultivate a thriving, resilient Hawaiʻi where our community is empowered, our culture flourishes, and our land is nurtured for generations to come.
How we kōkua
We will provide unrestricted and project-specific grants to Hawaiʻi-based non-profits whose work aligns with one of our four focus areas:
Fund Community-Led Change
-
Funding for programs that sustain traditional Hawaiian arts, hula, ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language), and other cultural practices.
-
Grants for organizations engaged in ecological restoration, native plant conservation, sustainable agriculture, and environmental education. These initiatives go toward the greater goal of food sovereignty.
-
Support for programs that provide resources for knowledge-based learning, including ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi immersion schools and culturally-grounded after-school programs. We believe there is power in education and providing access to programs for generations to come.
-
Funding for initiatives that foster creativity across diverse artistic mediums and galvanize the next generation of Hawaiʻi’s storytellers and artists.
