Uniting and Strengthening Nonprofits We help nonprofits make Hawai‘i better. There are thousands of nonprofits in Hawai‘i – each trying to make a difference on their own.

Advocate for the nonprofit sector to build community awareness of its value and how to invest resources.
•
Provide communications, tools and resources to facilitate member dialogue and gathering and disseminating information for and about the sector and the community.
