Honolulu Nonprofits and Charities

Aloha I am reaching out in help to obtain a van. My family is in need for one so that we can return to work We have struggled for several years fighting illnesses and homelessness. Currently my husband lives ai IHS and I reside on my aunts couch. For all of to get ahead a van would support our flower business. Hopefully to obtain our own residence.

Doing really cool work helping dive centers participate in coral restoration. Nice people too!

Maximum legal service is a scam. <br>They will try to screw you over and take every cent you have. <br>If you have them dealing with your money/trust fund, get away from them. They will rob you blind. <br><br>Every month they take “a little” off the top ($50000) and put it in a separate account to pay themselves basic on their services to you (as well as continue paying every lawyer and paralegal who has worked on your case)<br>Regardless of if you use up the $50000, they will keep taking it out. <br>Then for a non profit they pay their employees at least $100/hr to look over your email and review your email and reply to your email, which then is sent to the next guy who gets paid $130/hr to do the same, so on and so on.<br><br>And then they will take forever to possess any requests, and backtrack on any previously agreed on decisions regarding your money, they will also nickle and dime you.<br>

I would give this place NO stars if I could. IHS is known as “the Institute for Human Suffering” by those of us who have been taken advantage of by them and see through their PR. My family was used in 2015 so a slumlord could fleece HUD for money through a partnership with IHS and IHS could get a good headcount to make it look like they got homeless people housed, even though my family and others ended up houseless again after about 6 months. Look at their PUBLIC tax form 990 filing. This organization exists solely to fund the over $10,000,000 it spends on salaries and wages, including over $150,000 salaries for its executive director and CEO. IHS preys on homeless people who have some kind of income that it can then become “custodian of personal funds” for. IHS has been in business for over 45 years, while homelessness has only continued to get worse because “charities” waste money on everything except longterm, permanent housing. “Nonprofits” like IHS do absolutely nothing to address the root cause of homelessness and instead milk poverty for all its worth. IHS should be ashamed of itself!

Good fun with great people. If you looking for some where to learn something new or continue with your journey of outrigger canoe paddling this is the place to be. We encourage a team mentality with a open mind and heart for anyone interested in joining the ohana

I'm a resident. Life is good here, but there are issues with the CEO/CFO/Board of Directors. As for cost, it is very costly. Management/Board raises monthly fees and apartment prices higher than is needed. Kahala Nui has a large investment fund, but they don't use it to keep fees/prices at a reasonable level considering it is a non-profit. People have stated that there are times when Kahala Nui is being operated like a For-Profit org. Some residents are struggling to paid their monthly fees.<br>The Board has stated (documented) that their fiduciary duty is to the org and not specifically to residents.<br><br>Kahala Nui is planning an expansion (very preliminary) but maybe 135-150 independent living apartments, but no additional assisted living/memory/nursing units. Current assisted living/memory/nursing units are near capacity. I know of some residents waiting for an empty unit to move into.

Today, 3-29-24, is Brian's 66th birthday. It's a bittersweet day for me because unfortunately he passed in 2019. With an ALS state of the art "smart house" he might still be alive today. I'm still working on bringing ALS awareness and promoting why Hawaii needs an ALS Residence for those that can no longer be cared for at home. I miss my youngest brother and hope to improve quality of life for other ALS patients. <br>Every dollar helps our cause

This organization is responsible for my mother's death. She died of a drug overdose on their watch. If you love the person you are admitting here, please consider that. I was lied to and denied access to my mother's belongings. I was treated with the utmost disrespect and it took a lawyer to speak with anyone from the company. This place is corrupt and disgraceful - I have never in my life felt such disappointment.

I have been involved in showcasing two hundred years of Africana Hawaiian history since 1997. Presently, we are located in the Hawaii National Bank building at 1311 Kapiolani Boulevard on the 2nd floor where the mini-gallery is displayed with photographs and history dating back to 1810.<br>On June 15, 2024, we will be celebrating the 250th Birthday Celebration of Anthony D. Allen at the Washington Middle School at Punahou & King Streets from 9:00am to 3:00pm.<br>We are looking for dedicated volunteers (retired educators & professionals).<br>See video below: Hidden History at Washington Middle School in Honolulu.

Amazing nonprofit dedicated to easing financial burdens for cancer patients. Also, they provide gifts for providers and patients going through rough times in hopes to give encouragement.

Ohana Motorsports Foundation members, volunteers and partners work together to hosts automotive related events, shows, and gatherings and provide education to generate donations and awareness about terminal illnesses, domestic violence, addiction, poverty, and the less fortunate. <br>Proceeds generated by Ohana Motorsports Foundation are given directly to local patient-oriented charities and victims, or to various organizations.<br><br>Ohanamotorsportsfoundation.com<br><br>

<br>Do not trust this place if you are a parent who is sent there for an evaluation by child protective services. The director of clinical psychology, Dr.<br> is a malicious, racist, cold-hearted individual who has violated the code of ethics and conduct for psychologists. She with purpose and goal in mind lies on clients and the children who are sent to her for evaluation. Writing in documents sent to social workers and judges, untrue statements, and diagnoses. Her demeanor is nothing short of evil. She should be shunned by the community of psychology, investigated by the board, and stripped of her titles. She is harmful to the community of psychology and a threat to the parents and children in our society. I suggest that any parent who sees her name quickly requests a different evaluator because seeing her places you in danger of loosing your child due to her lies on both children and parents. This staff member is not to be trusted

Great to deal with, very professional, exceptional communication

Their readalouds videos are really educating children. They are awesome!

Unfortunately this organization fails to screen properly when placing clients into their transitional shelter. Being despised to drug addict who are still using is not restful at all. Neither is an abuse person who brings male(s) who have questionable background to the location a good idea. Being screamed at breathed and having hate speech used on a regular biases even after asking staff to start addressing the issues doesn’t work. Ramps them of items, clothing, jelwery and documents with personal information!!! Blocking and threading for the director her self not allowed to call 9-1-1. Or you will be placed out of the program, this is common threats and fear be manipulation are used to ‘keep’ clients in ‘line’ when you stand up for your self then you are gone! The Director must be in control at all times. Along with the fact that if you are disabled they will throw you out! They also allow drinking alcoholic beverages in the home along with smoking pot and having sex occurring in the home. They also fail to have working oven, printer and other items that they claim to have available. The Director will make excuses and claim funds are goi g elsewhere. They also misappropriate the ADA room(s) on a continuous basis. <br><br>Shelter, they have one that is supposed to be for AdA clients, they will move you out of the ADA room, place you upstairs and you are unable to get down stairs the elevator exists but they are in control of it, so you are trapped by them unless willing to wait for them to get off the phone so that you can access the outside world at all. Talk about being trapped!! Expect theft, the doors are not securable the result is items cash and anything else will disappear!! They will deter you from filing a police report by threading to place you on the street.

Coach Shelley and the paddlers of Ikaika Academy have been a big part of our children's lives for a number of years now. We are so happy that Coach Shelley provides leadership, compassion, kindness and positive awareness throughout their training camps. Going to Nationals in Georgia 2019 summer was a real eye opener and team building experience. We are so happy and blessed to have found IKAIKA HAWAI`I WATERMANS ACADEMY.

Very dishonest people. My friend asked me to pick up her cats for her from this group and they gave me the runaround using the most ridiculous lies. They told my friend they tried to call me and I didn't answer. (They did not.) The biggest lie was that they claimed to have moved so I couldn't stop by to pick up the cats, but they hadn't. The police are now involved.

I can't express how much energy, love and passion Jordan has put toward this program in helping the youths in our community. He provides a unique opportunity to introduce young children with new experiences, exposing them to sports that they may not have otherwise had, while providing them with lasting memories!

Horrible, abusive be very careful! Dying patients denied simple last meal(s) request.

Sea Inspiration is a wonderful organization. Their approach to educating young minds is terrific with "My Beach Reports". They are refreshing and innovative with their video capture. One can only imagine what it feels like being up close to sea life. Watching the videos take you into a magical underwater world. It's important to become familiar with the habitat of the honu, dolphins and whales in the Hawaiian waters and make sure we keep the ocean as pristine as possible. The Healing Adventures program is so special. What an opportunity for physically disadvantaged young people to feel the thrill and power of the ocean which they otherwise would not have the chance to experience. Sea Inspirations is a worthwhile non-profit to support and participate in. Start watching their videos and get involved. Aloha, Makk Studios

Over the past 12 years I have been associated with Conservation Council for Hawaii. I have worked as a volunteer and educator for the recovery of the Hawaiian Monk Seal. I am now proud to say that our organization is working as an educational arm for the Hawaiian Monk Seal through Conservation Council for Hawaii.<br><br>The enormous impact CCH has made over the years, through the tireless efforts of Marjorie Ziegler and Jonee Peters, have had an enormous impact on our State laws and regulations. This is one of the oldest non-profits in Hawai’i. CCH deserves recognition for their many accomplishments made to preserve the beauty, historical culture, and endemic species of Hawai’i.<br><br>Their work has impacted such important conservation efforts as Papahanaumokuakea National Monument, raising awareness throughout the entire archipelago about endangered wildlife and plant species. Their public awareness outreach includes many opportunities to experience wildlife and wild places in Hawai’i. These efforts have resulted in helping to restore, teach, and study historical preserves, teaching lessons about Hawai’i’s geology, ecology, ecosystem restoration, and species extinction.<br><br>The last 60 years of efforts by this fantastic non-profit group is so large the impact of their work is difficult to cover. I am proud and honored to be a part of Conservation Council for Hawai’i.<br><br>Dana Jones<br>Outreach Coordinator<br>Hawaiian Monk Seal Preservation Ohana<br>

The Women's Fund is a way to provide grants exclusively to benefit women and girls in our island state. Statistics show that this group is substantially underfunded by our philanthropic dollars. The organization has proven its ability to provide grants to those that utilize the funds as a catalyst for greater good. They are run by a dedicated, resourceful, ED,and one part time admin staff , leading a diverse group of committed volunteers. It is one of the best checks I write each year.<br> Former Board Member and Annual Donor
