Overview

Mission

Hawaii-Fi Youth Arts Program is a 501c3 focused on creating access to arts education to children on the island of Hawai'i. Hawaii-Fi offers free art workshops to enrolled Keiki. Access to creative outlets is crucial for every child's growth and development. By providing a platform for artistic expression, we inspire and nurture their curiosity, creativity, and self-confidence, while also instilling valuable skills that can benefit them in various areas of their lives. Children who lack exposure to art and music miss out on the chance to discover their passions and build meaningful relationships that can have a positive impact on their lives. At Hawaii-Fi, we are committed to creating a network of talented artists who can help cultivate a new generation of creative individuals, empowering them to make a difference in their world through their unique artistic expressions.

What it reported doing in 2022

In the calendar year 2022 Hawaii-Fi Youth Arts Program was in a planning phase for creating increased access of arts education to the children of Hawai'i Island. Due to this, the program was not actively operational and holding events, workshops, etc. This year was spent planning and roadmapping the vision. The accomplishments of the program in this year are simply the founding of the organization and preparation to begin in 2023.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
