Overview
Mission
To promote, perpetuate and educate the local community and youths of Hawaii about the ancient art of kendo (japanese fencing). The mission of the Hawaii kendo federation is to express the shared values of the ancient and modern, which are exemplified by the seven virtues of bushido (respect, courage, humility, righteousness, benevolence, loyalty and honor), to mold the character of youth to the benefit of the community, country and the world, through the practice of kendo. And by utilizing competitive play in local and international competitions to foster goodwill while preserving the practice and traditions embodied in the katana.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 62% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
