Our Associated NonProfits

During Eia Hawaii Fund’s first development phase, we will focus our resources and funds on working in partnership with preselected registered nonprofit organizations based in Hawai‘i in developing, expanding and improving their own ongoing programs.

This strategy will allow Eia Hawaii Fund to gain first-hand knowledge and experience in key specific public oriented programs. During our second development phase, Eia Hawaii Fund will launch its own programs while involving our partnered nonprofits.

All partnered nonprofits must maintain their 501(c)3 registered nonprofit organization status for the duration of the partnership with Eia Hawaii Fund in order to receive funding.

The holistic approach to collaborating with existing non-profits while mutually sharing best practices and organizational innovations will make Eia Hawaii Fund a critical component of the nonprofit landscape in Hawai‘i. In the true spirit of collaboration, we are confident that EHF’s financial contributions would further our exempt purposes.

MANA MAOLI – MANA MELE

Mana Maoli continually strives toward fulfilling its vision and mission via its Maoli Music and Kānehūnāmoku Voyaging Academy programs, and as the supporting 501(c)3 nonprofit of our Public Charter School – Hālau Kū Māna. While parents, kupuna (elders), educators, musicians and other adult community members serve and benefit from its programs in various ways, its focus is on engaging and serving our ʻopio, or youth.

SUSTAINABLE COASTLINES HAWAI‘I

programs, public awareness campaigns and help others run their own beach cleanups. By educating people about reducing their waste and the need to keep our beaches clean, they foster a connection to their coastline and coastlines thousands of miles away.
