Overview

Mission

CoconutLine is a volunteer group of neighbors helping neighbors, assisting and supporting those affected by natural disasters and related unexpected hardships in Maui County by restoring strength and hope and replenishing what has been lost.

What it reported doing in 2025

Resource Hubs: CoconutLine volunteers staff and supply two storefronts in Kihei for those families and individuals who lost their homes in the Maui August 2023 fires to come in, and resupply, at no cost to them, with household goods, kitchen supplies, toiletries, clothing, toys, linens, bedding, books, furniture and the like. All items are stocked or purchased from community donations of goods and cash. These stores have also become a place of sanctuary, for folks to reconnect with neighbors and others in their same circumstances, and to talk story with the volunteers and fellow shoppers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 49% for direct work, and 51% for grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
