HOAKALEI CHARITIES

Hoakalei Charities (EIN 26-3558965) is a Hawaii 501(c)(3) public charity organized to run fundraising events and distribute proceeds to local nonprofit causes. The organization has maintained annual IRS filings (Form 990/990‑EZ) and shows regular fundraising activity and year‑end net assets reported in its recent filings. In practice the charity has historically operated through event fundraising—most notably a signature charity golf event associated with Hoakalei Country Club (the Ernie Els–designed course) that has directed proceeds to local beneficiaries. Financial records on public filings indicate annual revenues in the tens of thousands in recent fiscal years and growth in net assets through FY2024. Hoakalei Charities is donor‑facing through its fundraising events and appears to function primarily as an event funder and grant distributor rather than a direct‑service provider; its governance and key officers are listed on public tax filings and it has continued to file timely returns through the 2024 fiscal year.
