Our Charities

 

At Kohala, we are dedicated to giving back to the community and those organizations which align to our values of helping people in need. We take our social responsibility to be a core aspect of our business, and what it means to be a responsible company in the 21st century. As such, we set aside funding for causes that we have identified as aligning to that vision.

 

Native Hawaiian Charities– Those charities which help out the Native Hawaiians are number one. This includes housing, land preservation, historic sites, and points of interest that are key to the history and preservation of the islands.

Community Causes– This includes food banks, public facilities, and community activities.

Educational- Scholarships, facilities, and foster/adoptive programs.

Historic Preservation– Sites not identified as specific to Native Hawaii, but includes buildings and land with historical significance in their respective community.
