Partnerships

Give First. Build Together. Prosper Together.

Two ways to partner with KoaMana: as a community organization, or as a business partner.

Track 1

Community organizations

Native Hawaiian–serving nonprofits and community groups. Tell us who you serve and what would help.

Introduce your organization →

Track 2

Business partners

Teaming partners, subcontractors, suppliers and professionals who want to build with us.

Start a conversation →

For community organizations

We'd rather build with you than for you.

If your organization serves Native Hawaiian communities, we want to know your work, the people you serve, and what would help. KoaMana's first community partnerships are forming now.

  • Native Hawaiian–led or –serving organizations
  • Long-term relationships, not one-time checks
  • Every commitment approved by our board

Sharing your organization's needs is not a grant application. KoaMana does not have an open grant program yet.

For our business partners

The KoaMana Partnership Promise

Good work gets done by people who trust each other. These are the commitments we make to every company and professional who builds with us.

Fairness

Every contributor is respected and treated fairly, whatever the size of their role.

Transparency

Roles, expectations and terms are agreed in writing up front. No surprises.

Mutual accountability

We hold ourselves to the same standards we ask of our partners, and we follow through.

Shared success

When the work succeeds, the people who made it succeed share in it, and so does the community.

For business partners

Start a conversation.

Tell us what your company does and how you'd like to work together. For federal contracting opportunities, our team will connect you with KoaMana Build.

  • Roles and expectations in writing

  • Success that's shared
