to keep on, continue, persevere, last, add a little more
Leaning into trust-based philanthropy practices and the incredible abundance that continues to bless our ʻohana, HPF extended 24 continuation grants to grassroots huis who have proven year over year their work towards long-lasting social change in our communities. We recognize the incredible work our partners do to advance justice in our communities, and also recognize our own kuleana to help to build capacity and sustain the general operations of Hawaiʻi-based grassroots organizations who have a proven track record of challenging systems of oppression as an HPF grantee. Theyʻve shown UP, again and again, and we are honored to support these fierce huis and the powerful force for change they are in Hawaiʻi!

Ka ‘Ahahui Hawai’i Aloha ‘Āina
Reactivated in 2016 from its original formation circa 1893, Ka ʻAhahui Hawaiʻi Aloha ʻĀina (Hui Aloha ʻĀina) exists for the expressed purpose of perpetuating Hawaiian national identity, the development of a Hawaiian national consciousness, and the restoration of Hawaiian national independence. Hui Aloha ʻĀina has branches on all major islands, is entirely volunteer driven, is a multigenerational combination of veterans of the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, students, parents, labor organizers, workers, academics, and kuaʻāina alike.
The hui is in the planning stage of the Aloha ʻĀina Demilitarization Summit: Cease the Lease, with a specific focus on campaigning against the 2029 u.s. military lease renewals of approximately 47,000 acres of Hawaiian land. The summit seeks to assemble a coalition of activists and organizers engaging in the struggle against the ongoing cultural and environmental desecration at occupied u.s. military facilities such as Mākua Valley, Pōhakuloa Training Area, and others.
