Hāna Community Endowment Fund
Hāna has found its way into the hearts of many. Our home is almost an island unto itself and is reached by way of a two-hour, 52-mile drive of winding road and bridges from central Maui. Our isolation has bred a special, tightly-knit community that continues to honor the values of the Hawaiian family 'ohana. There are 800 of us in Hāna town and 2,000 from Ke'anae to Kaupō.
The same qualities that make us special—small, rural, isolated, Hawaiian—also make it challenging to meet the critical needs of our community. Ten nonprofit organizations have created an endowment fund. Only the income will be used as a supplemental source of operational revenue each year.

With Hāna in YOUR hearts, please help us to grow the Hāna Community Endowment Fund! In 2016, we met our initial goal of raising $1 million for the principle fund of the endowment, and in 2017 made our first disbursements to the organizations. Now we're working on our next $1 million.
