Overview

Mission

Environmental conservation and education, community land stewardship, preservation, protection, and conservation of Kau's natural and cultural resources.

What it reported doing in 2025

Continued support for the Kau High School student composting project working to reduct solid waste going to the landfill in the community, and to create compost for the school farm. 20 student interns support the program, and monthly community outreach events have involved over 500 participants. Community events have focused on recycling and trading in old refrigerators for energy efficient models.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
