Aloha Mākena Foundation

Aloha Mākena is our 501 (c)(3) organization. At its very core, our purpose is to support the continuum of aloha, of reciprocation, in Makena. The foundation helps ensure continued support of community events in place, as well as continued investment in Makena’s next generation through training programs like Kīpaipai and the Aloha Makena Endowed Scholarship for University of Hawaiʻi students (learn more here).

Aloha Makena is about intentional reciprocation with community so we can belong to this precious place together. We focus our efforts on remembering and amplifying the relationship of humans as younger siblings to our island ecosystem kin.
