About HUI MALAMA O KE KAI FOUNDATION

Hui Mālama O Ke Kai Foundation (HMK) is a community-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in the Waimānalo area in 1998 to provide culture‑based after‑school, summer, family and community programs focused on ʻāina (land) and kai (ocean) stewardship. Programs combine Hawaiian cultural practices, academic support, physical fitness, and career-readiness activities to support keiki (children), ʻōpio (youth) and ʻohana (families). HMK operates from an 11‑acre leased site in Waimānalo and partners with local schools and community organizations to deliver no‑cost programming; recent filings and grant applications report serving roughly 100+ youth and families annually. The organization is an active, donor‑facing charity with an established web presence, documented federal grant awards, and recent state compliance and grant activity (2024–2025).
