Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

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.

Impact evidence

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $38,524 spent. Kuleana Coworking provided 2,155 sq ft of affordble, high-speed workshapce to 15 local entrepreneurs and nonprofits. At market rates ($24-$54/SF/YR), a cmparable 500 sq ft office would cost $1,000-$2,250 per month; members paid just $550, saving $81-$306K collectively in 2024. Savings left members to invest in local sevices, retain Kaua'i-based talend, and fuel community resilience. Also hosted five AI Talk Story and three digital literacy events that raised computer literacy and supported workforce development in a rural zone. The organization operates on Kaua'i, a federally designated Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) and USDA-classified rural area. By providing affordable coworking space and business resources, Kuleana Coworking addresses the high overhead costs and limited commercial inventory that hinder enterprise growth in remote island economies.
