Profile
Malama Ka’u Foundation is more than a nonprofit—it’s a promise to our people.
As a registered 501(c)(3) Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO), we are deeply rooted in the Ka’u District of Hawaii, committed to honoring our heritage and uplifting our community.
Our mission is personal: to preserve and promote Hawaiian culture, while tackling the real economic and social challenges our families face every day. Through hands-on community engagement, thoughtful partnerships, and sustainable development, we work to support local businesses, strengthen education, protect cultural traditions, and breathe new life into the Ka’u economy.
At the heart of it all is a deep love for Ka’u—its history, its people, and its future.
