Native Hawaiian Philanthropy
Mission Statement
A) Native Hawaiian Philanthropy (NHP) will empower native Hawaiian communities with the resources and support to improve the socio-economic conditions of NHO (Native Hawaiian Organizations) and our lāhui.
B) Increase active participation, engagement and understanding of native Hawaiian and Hawaii BIPOC communities with philanthropic funders and organizations.
C) Support culturally-grounded projects and organizations that help to promote and perpetuate Hawaiian culture, practices, health and well-being, and inherent sovereign rights.
D) Programs under NHP:
Na Mahiʻai o Maui (The Farmers of Maui) and partnerships with Maui farming nonprofits to help build capacity and provide support to increase food production and community.
Moʻolelo: Hawaiian Storytelling through screenwriting & music video productions to empower native Hawaiians to write their own stories about Hawaiian history, culture and community.
ʻŌlelo Noʻeau (Hawaiian Proverb):
" ʻA'ohe hana nui ke alu 'ia."
No task is too big when done together by all.
Mahalo nui loa to all of the donors and funders that helped Native Hawaiian Philanthropy raise $400,000 in funds, in-kind donations, and resources to help Kula and Lahaina families devastated by the fires.
