The multitude of Native Hawaiian organizations that have emerged over the last 20 years is a testament to the interest, knowledge, and hard work Native Hawaiians are willing to commit to bettering themselves, their communities, and Hawaiʻi as a whole. At the same time Pūkoʻa recognizes that there is a significant need amongst these developing organizations for capacity support in various forms including; management, strategic planning, facilitation, and access to capital, that if provided, could significantly improve organizational functioning and increase their impact in providing services to meet the needs identified by their communities. The intended impact of Pūkoʻa is to create collective socioeconomic equality for Hawaiians and their communities.
