Overview
Mission
NA MEA IKE IA (NMII) is formed to promote and preserve Aloha (deep affection/love) in the world through the positive development of na haumana (students), na ohana (families), and wahi noho like o ka poe (communities) with structured, cultural, and uplifting values-based programs rooted in the wisdom of our kupuna (elders) and an aumakua (ancestors).
What it reported doing in 2022
(1. Program Service: Aloha Means; (2. Mission: Challenge people to discover the meaning of Aloha and apply it to their lifestyle; (3. Service Accomplishments: Impacted approx 600 people by coordinating and hosting a three-day public event on the island of Oahu, "The Royal Tribute to Hawaii's Sovereign." The event followed the interment path of Queen Liliuokalani to honor her legacy of aloha at the sacred sites of Washington Place, Kawaiahao Church, Iolani Place, and Mauna Ala. The event focused on how everyone who calls Hawaii home can connect as Kanaka Kupa Hawaii - Hawaii Citizens and how we can support Kanaka Maoli - Native Hawaiians on their journey toward positive self-determination. The goal is to encourage unity, responsibility, citizenship, and a positive identity rooted in Aloha.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 61% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
