What it says it does

Our organization has played a key role in the lives of affected youth that participate in our programs. Approximately 90% of the program participants were directly affected by the wildfires, resulting in major and abrupt life changes. Our organization aims to provide consistency to these affected students and give them back a sense of belonging when many of their typical activities have changed. In addition to consistency, our programs provide an outlet for these students to recover mentally and physically from the drastic change that happened in their individual families and the broader community. We believe that the strength and resilience of the youth in Lahaina is critical to the long-term rebound of the broader Lahaina community.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

  1. $96,145 spent. Lokahi Athletics' mission is to empower the youth of Maui by providing access to competitive sports, mentorship, and training. While we officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit three years ago, our roots run deep-operating as a grassroots organization for over 25 years. For more than two decades, we have dedicated ourselves to helping the youth of Lahaina and surrounding areas access sports programs, travel opportunities, and athletic scholarships to universities across the country. Lokahi Athletics was able to serve over 75 youth athletes in our fiscal year, eliminating costs for leagues, travel expenses and equipment expenses.
