Our Story

Native Hawaiian Philanthropy, formerly Maui Mixer  has evolved through the years.

Originally established in 2015, Maui Mixer provided support and funding for sports programs for Keanae and Maui youth.  In 2019, the program evolved into providing support to the Keanae farmers and families.  After the covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the Board of Directors understood the impacts and conditions of native Hawaiian communities state-wide.

In 2022, the board expanded itʻs focus to native Hawaiian communities state-wide and began developing the Native Hawaiian Philanthropy vision in the summer.  

Our overall goal is to provide support to native Hawaiian communities of Keanae, Maui and Statewide to help improve their socio-economic conditions.
