WHY THE FUND?
The Wayfinder Fund is built to last, providing sustainable resources that uplift Native Hawaiian-led solutions.
It ensures that our people, culture, and ʻāina will continue to thrive for generations to come.
The Wayfinder Fund is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of Native Hawaiian communities through the following key initiatives:
Culturally-Grounded Support:
NHP will provide multi-year grants to NHOʻs that implement culturally-grounded, native-led programs that celebrate and perpetuate Hawaiian culture, practices, and values.
Investing in Our Communities:
The fund seeks to invest in Native Hawaiian communities by supporting cultural practitioners, native artists and projects.
Bridging Connections:
Native Hawaiian Philanthropy (NHP) is committed to connecting Native Hawaiian communities with the philanthropic sector. Through workshops, philanthropy conferences, and Hawaii funder tours, we foster impactful interactions that engage funders and foundations with NHP partners, programs, and cultural practitioners.
Your support for the Wayfinder Fund can make a transformative impact on our communities. Together, we can honor our past, enrich our present, and illuminate our future. Join us in this vital endeavor to uplift and empower Native Hawaiian Organizations.
