Our Vision

Why this work matters

🜃 Relationships between the philanthropic sector and nonprofit sector are transformed to ones based on equity, humanity and partnership, and nonprofits are in the lead.

🜃 Community, nonprofits and funders will be able to think through challenges together, learn from each other, heal together, and resource each others strengths to drive solutions that are informed and led by people closest to them.

🜃 Philanthropy exudes the values of our unique home: aloha, kuleana, lōkahi, pono, mālama.

🜃 We see capital accessible and flowing to the best ideas not just the best connected. We commonly see the use of integrated capital approaches. 

🜃 We see the best solutions being appropriately capitalized from idea to market to scale.

🜃 We see the ALICE number at an acceptable level (much lower than current).

How did we accomplish this change?

🜃 We presented thought leaders and workshops on just funding to members and followed with active relationship/ collaborative building.

🜃 Holding hands to authentically address community issues by building trusted relationships amongst those with resources of varying measure.

🜃 Safe spaces are created where people learn about each other as people first, are able to have difficult discussions, build trust with each other, experiment and learn together. Unconventional relationships are built between funders and nonprofits and the community in order to drive capital to people and communities that have historically been extracted from.

🜃 We do this by extending aloha to create an ever expanding ʻohana of people committed to doing good; aloha aku aloha mai, ike aku ike mai pela iho la ka nohona ʻohana recognize and be recognized, help and be helped, such is the way of the family

🜃 Philanthropy sees its capital as catalytic and creates opportunities for collaboration both within philanthropy and with public and private capital.
