It is my honor to share the Kekoa Foundation 2023 Community Giveback Report. Kekoa Foundation is a U.S. Small Business Administration certified Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO) and is the nonprofit parent company of Makai. Kekoa Foundation’s mission is to support, promote, and advance the overall welfare and economic condition of Native Hawaiians in the State of Hawaii through education, business, and community activities and programs. As a newer nonprofit, we’ve taken the approach of partnering with established organizations currently doing great work to support the Native Hawaiian community. Over our four years in operation, we have grown our community giveback contributions and have taken an active role in the community. Kekoa Foundation is a proud member of the Native Hawaiian Organizations Association (NHOA) and the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA). We’ve expanded the list of community partners we support and have started to build our own initiatives that serve our portfolio’s dual mission of supporting national security and the Native Hawaiian community. As we close out Asian American Pacific Islander (#AAPI) Heritage Month, please consider supporting some of our great community partners: ·  Loko Iʻa Pāʻaiau: https://paaiau.org · Purple Maiʻa Foundation: https://purplemaia.org ·  Iolani Palace: https://lnkd.in/e5jf2FQq ·  MauiNuiStrong: https://lnkd.in/eGjcJUtS We are committed to authentically supporting the Native Hawaiian community and will continue to expand our giveback and partnerships. I am incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved thus far, and we're just getting started. Imua!
