Overview

Mission

Hanuman Maui is an intergenerational community formed to preserve Ram Dass’s house and property as a spiritual sanctuary, continuing his legacy through kirtan and meditation, pilgrimages, and service to Maui’s houseless encampments. Hanuman Maui supports Baba’s Feed Project in their mission to address food scarcity in India. Make it. We’re a grassroots outreach program that’s been serving Maui’s houseless community since 2021. Twice a week, we bring meals, water, clothing, and supplies to five encampments in Kahului and Wailuku — but the real work is about connection. We walk alongside our neighbors: sharing meals, offering rides, showing up in emergencies, and finding ways to ease suffering together. With community partners, we’re also hosting Ohana dinners and building legal support so folks can stand up against unfair citations. Rather than pushing social services, we love people...

What it reported doing in 2025

Serving the broader community with free food via the local food bank and distribution of meals directly to the homeless. Aided victims of Maui fire disaster.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 76% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
