We Need Your Help!
from No Nā Kānaka
We need your help today!
We have been working hard to build a strong foundation for the Lahaina Resource and Recovery Center. We have key partnerships lined up, our core team trained, volunteers ready to go, policies and procedures created, donations promised, and most importantly families that need our support. We have successfully piloted our services with ten displaced ‘ohana so far. We have been operating in a mobile manner working out of storage containers. Our next step is to find a large warehouse to scale up our operations in preparation for the many families that will need this support.
Nā Kia’i O Maui is seeking to raise our operating cost for at least one year for the Lahaina Resource and Recovery Center by the end of March 2024! Please help us meet our fundraising goal of $1,478,155.
We will continue to raise funds and welcome your support at any time. In addition to funding, we always welcome volunteers and partners. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and connect with us!
It is essential that Nā Kia’i O Maui remain sovereign in our autonomy as a grassroots, people-centered nonprofit organization. Therefore, we are intentionally not pursuing FEMA or Red Cross dollars at this time. We welcome grants from private foundations and donations from businesses and donors that resonate with our approach and mission.
In the following pages we share why Nā Kia’i O Maui is a sound investment and how your donation will be leveraged to make the greatest possible impact on the people of Lahaina over the next five years. We will introduce you to our leadership and core team as well as our fiscal sponsor and community partners.
We’ve included a summary of our 5-year LRRC budget estimates and a brief budget narrative and we’ve also provided links to supporting documents. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our organization!
