About Naqaqa Giving Foundation

Naqaqa Giving Foundation (EIN 20-0548484) is a California-incorporated 501(c)(3) charity (tax-exempt since 2005) that operates programs primarily in Savusavu and the northern islands of Fiji while maintaining a U.S. mailing/presence in Los Angeles (Studio City). The foundation focuses on direct service programs in health (including the Savusavu Medical Centre), education (scholarships, preschools and a music academy), agriculture, and village infrastructure, often working through local leaders and community health workers.

The organization reports recent, sustained program activity and annual charitable disbursements in its most recent IRS filings and continues to run volunteer and donor-supported projects, manage related philanthropic programs (including work administered under The Jazmin Fund), and support village-level projects such as kindergartens, community halls, water systems, and small-scale agricultural initiatives.

Notable achievements

Savusavu Medical Centre

Developed and operated the largest NGF project—a private medical clinic in Savusavu that expanded local access to primary care, 24-hour on-call services, pharmacy access and treatments previously unavailable in the region.

Sustained direct charitable disbursements (recent years)

Demonstrated significant program spending in recent Form 990/PF filings, with the majority of annual expenses allocated to direct charitable activities and community assistance (hundreds of thousands in contributions and disbursements reported in the most recent available filings).

Local infrastructure & education projects

Delivered village-level infrastructure and education projects (water systems, housing repair, bridges, Naweni kindergarten and community halls) in multiple northern-Fiji villages, often in partnership with volunteers and small program partners.
