About KOKUA CARE FOUNDATION

Kokua Care Foundation is a Honolulu-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports in-home care services for older adults on Oʻahu. The foundation was formed as the charitable arm of Kokua Care to raise funds and provide subsidized or charitable care to seniors who lack the means to pay for private home care. The foundation focuses its charitable assistance on two named programs: Alzheimer’s/dementia care and veterans’ care. Its public materials describe specific fundraising targets (for example, per-week and per-month care support levels) and a stated goal to sustain care for a minimum number of eligible kupuna. Kokua Care Foundation maintains an active web presence, files annual Form 990 returns, and in recent years has reported program service revenue and net assets while consistently directing the majority of expenditures toward client care and home-care programs.
