About SAMOAN SOLUTIONS

Samoan Solutions is a volunteer‑run, donor‑facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving Samoan and Pacific Islander communities across San Mateo County and the greater Bay Area. The organization operates cultural, educational and youth programs (including a community space called Le Maota) that preserve Fa'a Samoa while connecting community members to health, education and social services.

Public filings under EIN 27-2047925 and the organization’s own website confirm the charity is active, files annual Form 990 series returns, and maintains partnerships with local funders and arts agencies. While the user-supplied city was San Bruno, the organization’s public records and website list its primary operations/mailing presence in the Burlingame/San Mateo County area and note programming that serves San Bruno and neighboring cities.

In recent years Samoan Solutions has expanded youth and cultural programming (notably launching the Ta'iala Youth Exchange Program and an Aganu'u Community Teach‑In series) and continued to run recurring community events and arts initiatives that engage multi‑generational Pacific Islander participants.
