Making an Impact

Kupu in partnership with other organizations such as Chef Hui, has launched a free meal distribution program on Oʻahu.

The Kupu ʻĀina Corps program provided temporary employment for those interested in exploring environmental and sustainability related work.

Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i offers support to tenants facing eviction during the Governor's eviction moratorium.

Emerging from the Maui Economic Recovery Commission, this initiative recognizes that individual, community, and generational healing is critical to post-fire recovery. Due to the displacement of people from Lahaina, there are limited opportunities to gather, which community members say is a critical source of healing.  This initiative targets two years of seasonal convenings, guided by community leadership, to promote healing through gathering, de-stigmatize mental health support, and provide opportunities for keiki to kupuna to reconnect.

This project engages social service providers in a collaborative network supported by relevant and current data, thereby increasing the resilience of the social services sector.

Due to the Maui wildfires, Native Hawaiian Philanthropy (NHP) has shifted their support and resources to help Lahaina and Kula families. They are currently working with partners to implement an indigenous-informed disaster recovery approach to assist Lahaina and Kula families displaced by the fires.
