INPEACE is honored to announce an remarkable $800,000 donation from Nakupuna Foundation over the next three years. This remarkable commitment will not only propel our Capital Campaign with $250,000 in dedicated funding but will also bolster our Kaulele Program, enabling us to bring Hawaiian culture and science to life through upcoming pop-up exhibits.
The Nakupuna Foundation shared their excitement for this partnership, stating:
“The Nakupuna Foundation is humbled to partner with INPEACE in creating opportunities that celebrate and mālama Native Hawaiian culture and education. We are especially excited about supporting the integration of Hawaiian culture and science, sparking curiosity, and expanding access to these invaluable learning experiences for keiki, educators, and communities across Hawaiʻi. We look forward to the meaningful impact this collaboration will bring.”
The Foundation’s mission to promote and advance the Native Hawaiian community aligns seamlessly with INPEACE’s vision. By fostering partnerships, supporting impactful programs, and making targeted investments, the Nakupuna Foundation strives to increase opportunities for meaningful work and sustainable growth within our communities. Their values and approach deeply resonate with our efforts to uplift and empower the Waiʻanae Coast and beyond.
The impact of this donation will be far-reaching:
- Capital Campaign: With $250,000 allocated toward establishing our permanent INPEACE Community Hub, we are one step closer to creating a space where families, educators, and community members can come together to access resources, collaborate, and thrive.
- Kaulele Program: The remaining funds will support innovative Hawaiian culture and science pop-up exhibits that inspire curiosity, foster cultural pride, and spark a love for learning in communities across Hawaiʻi.
Mahalo nui to Nakupuna Foundation for your visionary investment in our work and your steadfast support of Native Hawaiian advancement. Your generosity empowers us to create opportunities for our community to grow, learn, and prosper.
