Volcano Nonprofits and Charities

My involvement with The Volcano Art Center goes back nearly 5 years. At first just by attending their art classes and their various Fundraisers. <br>I was first introduced to this organization while under different leadership and CEO. Somehow things did not work out that well ,until our current CEO (Mike Nelson) took over the helm during the past 4 years or so.<br><br>This Center and its main Gallery which is located in the Volcano National Park is of a highly cultural significance with its proximity to the National Park, its active volcanoes and it's many blessings from Madame Pele surrounded by all the magical elements; water, fire and rare forest creatures.<br>The Niaulani Campus is where the art ClAsses take place, the bautiful Hula is performed and <br>the annual Gala called "Love The Arts' takes place.<br>I have had the privilege of participating in the annual fundraiser for the past 3 years by bringing in Live and silent auction items as well as cash donations. <br>Each year the Volunteers which includes the BOD work very hard to make this event a fabulous success and such a great addition to this intimate community up in the 4000 foot elevation of the Big Island Of Hawaii.<br>I am proud to be a part of this organization and community where everyone works together to embrace the beauty of this magical setting.<br>I am in my first year of being on the Board Of Directors and I am impressed with how they have managed to grow in the quality of their employees and the many artistic and cultural offerings they have been able to add over these years in spite of the Pandemic! <br>This is an organization that adds tremendous value to Hawaii Island and it's many cultural<br>venues for visitors and locals alike and deserves your support!<br><br><br><br><br><br>

When I found abandoned kittens, I called this nonprofit and they tutored me on how to care for them. The manager of the organization is friendly and caring, and there is no doubt that the donations go directly to caring for the cats.
