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.

Support the Supporters

These professional development events will provide resources to non-profit leaders in Hawaiʻi so they can continue to serve their communities with strength and passion.

Mental health and wellness workshops tailored for non-profit professionals.
Leadership training and peer-to-peer mentorship opportunities.
Networking events to foster collaboration and resource sharing among leaders.

Hear from our friends at Kaiāulu Initiatives

“Wiliwili Foundation has been instrumental in elevating our operational readiness and long-term sustainability at Kaiāulu Initiatives. Your guidance has strengthened our internal systems, sharpened our fundraising approach, and helped us build a more resilient organizational framework.

Your financial support, including this year’s micro grant, directly equipped our volunteers with the tools they need to steward the land safely and effectively. Equally meaningful was your effort to connect us with specialized support to advance our financial literacy and budgeting capacity.

We are sincerely grateful for your partnership, your belief in our mission, and the way you champion capacity building for organizations like ours. Your support enables us to operate with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose as we restore Lahaina’s ʻāina and serve our community.”
