Overview

Mission

Growing Seafood for Our Community One Pohaku at a Time

What it reported doing in 2024

Aina momona (am) is paepae o he'eia's community resource development program. Am projects include the removal of invasive algae, removal and distribution of predatory fish through community fishing days, harvest and sales of mangrove crab, and the research and development of resources such as bivalves and land-based food crops.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
