Overview

Mission

To inspire present and future generation to support projects and programs that preserve haleakala national park.

What it reported doing in 2022

The organization works to raise funds for projects critical to the success and sustainability of haleakala national park that are not being sufficiently funded though government support and visitor fees. This national park is home to more endangered and endemic species than any other park in the united states, and protects a variety of unique cultural and natural resources.

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
