Where is the money donated to?
Lokahi Collective is proud to contribute 50% of our profits to the Lahainaluna High School Foundation’s advanced education scholarship, which provides critical funding to students pursuing higher education.
This scholarship empowers students to overcome financial barriers, opening doors to opportunities that enable them to excel academically and ultimately give back to their communities. By supporting these driven young individuals, we are investing in the future of Maui and the spirit of ‘lokahi’—unity and togetherness—that inspires everything we do.
Lahainaluna High School Foundation’s Advanced Education Scholarship
We are incredibly honored to partner with the student business club at Lahainaluna High School in Lahaina, Maui, to support future leaders through Next Wave Hawaii. Lokahi Collective is proud to contribute 50% of our profits to the Lahainaluna High School Foundation’s advanced education scholarship, which provides critical funding to students pursuing higher education.
This scholarship empowers students to overcome financial barriers, opening doors to opportunities that enable them to excel academically and ultimately give back to their communities. By supporting these driven young individuals, we are investing in the future of Maui and the spirit of ‘lokahi’—unity and togetherness—that inspires everything we do.
This partnership has taken on new significance in the wake of the recent fires that have profoundly impacted Lahaina and its community. Many families, including students of Lahainaluna High School, have lost homes, businesses, and cherished memories. Through our donations, we hope to offer a small but meaningful way to help rebuild and uplift Lahaina by providing students with educational opportunities that honor their resilience. Every purchase made through Lokahi Collective contributes directly to this cause, helping to support a new generation of leaders who will shape Maui’s future.
