Trees for Honolulu's Future

Trees for Honolulu’s Future is a Honolulu-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit (verified EIN 81-4639152) founded to strengthen and expand the island’s urban tree canopy. The organization acts as a bridge among community groups, public agencies, and private partners to plan, fund, and steward trees across Oʻahu. In the last 2–3 years TFHF has focused on community-facing programs that measure and mitigate urban heat, youth engagement, and hyper-local planting campaigns — including the Heat Island Investigators program, the Kumulāʻau tree-themed card game, an annual Keiki Art Contest, and neighborhood efforts such as Trees for Kaimukī. The group has received foundation and grant support (including local partners and national grant programs) and shows active program and fundraising activity in recent Form 990 filings and public grant records. The organization maintains an active volunteer and outreach presence, partners with local groups (for example Smart Trees Pacific, The Outdoor Circle and municipal partners), and continues to prioritize policy advocacy and education to help Honolulu reach higher canopy-cover goals by 2035.
