Our Mission
The Makoa Foundation’s mission is to strengthen the economic well-being of Native Hawaiians by aiding the community’s ability to build personal resilience, develop financial knowledge and skills, and pursue opportunities for generating income and asset-building.
To do this, the Foundation will direct funding to non-profit organizations that have a proven record of Native Hawaiian mentorship, childcare assistance, financial literacy, competitive vocational training, and degree and certification attainment to empower individuals to secure their basic needs and maximize their potential while providing for their families.
