Overview
Mission
To support education primarily in the Waianae community on the island of Oahu. Support may included, but not be limited to, professional development, student support services, and community engagement. As educators on the Waianae coast, our goal is to create educational environments where teachers, students, and other community stakeholders can thrive. While we operate within the Waianae community, our reach may extend outside the Leeward coast. The organization was created to benefit public interest, specifically through the advancement of education.
What it reported doing in 2025
Lei Kaiaulu is an educational program designed to address academic outcomes through a more holistic approach where students learn about community and environmental issues, how those issues are being addressed, and develop a plan to engage community to increase awareness on the issues. The project has three core components aimed at improving student learning through community immersion using relevant, place-based learning experiences: integrated, place-based learning, professional development for kumu, and community engagement.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 93% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
