On Maui

Maui is our home. It’s where we raise our families, learn from our friends, and find inspiration in the island’s incredible natural beauty. Guided by the unique local Hawaiian traditions and culture, we’re working to safeguard this special place for generations to come.

Here’s how we do it:

Workers build the wooden frames of a classroom's walls

Schools

Every child needs a safe, well-equipped place to learn—and have fun in the process. We’re committed to making sure they get it:

A school teacher pointing at a blackboard, symbolizing education

Building new classrooms and recreational centers

A screwdriver, hammer, and wrench, symbolizing building renovation

Renovating older facilities

A computer monitor, symbolizing technology investment

Providing computers, equipment, and more

Environment

Maui is home to some of the world’s most magnificent ecosystems: gorgeous coral reefs, stunning rainforests, ancient mountains, and more. As stewards of the land (and seas), we seek to preserve them with:

A palm tree leaning over a trash can, symbolizing beach cleanups

Community building

Strong communities are diverse and multigenerational, and they spend time together in many different ways (and places). We make it easy for our entire ohana here on Maui to stick together with:

Three balloons floating in the air, symbolizing family fun days

A party popper with small stars and confetti, symbolizing island-wide festivals

Disaster relief, recovery, and rebuild

When disaster strikes, we show up to provide immediate assistance. But the work doesn’t stop there—our next step is to deploy intermediate solutions that build a bridge to a better future. And when the dust is settled, we’re there to help with the long-term rebuild by providing:

A drawing of a house to symbolize housing assistance
