Aloha & Welcome to the Hawaiian Way Fund!

Small community-based organizations, each serving community in their own way, are the cultural lifelines of our state. Hawaiian practices and traditions live through these organizations and their commitment to perpetuate Hawaiian approaches and ways of caring for others. The Hawaiian Way Fund is a community development fund devoted to this community service –devoted to incredible programs delivered all across our great state that embrace the values and knowledge of Hawaii’s
Native people.

Mahalo for your interest in the Hawaiian Way Fund. We hope you will join us in supporting
Hawaiian culture.

“I want to say mahalo for your continued and generous support of the Building Program in Hana.  It’s been a full and exciting year.  After completing the Substance Abuse Center for Hana High School in the fall, our students built a new wing for Hana’s Senior Center, Hale Hulu Mamo, to help them meet their increased need for serving our local kupuna. As we continue to expand to meet the ongoing needs of our community, school, and students, we want to again say thank you for your help in reaching our youth and making our community a better place.  We couldn’t do it without you.”

“The Hawaiian Way Fund has impacted the programs and services that we offer by providing financial assistance towards the building of our workshop materials, in that we were able to produce more materials for our Native Hawaiian participants so that they could successfully learn, comprehend, and further advance in repository literacy by acquiring skills needed to research and document land titles and genealogies.” – Analu Kameeiamoku Josephides,
