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.
Mauka-Makai Learning Lanai at Lahainaluna High School
We are incredibly honored to support the students of Lahainaluna High School in Lahaina, Maui, through Next Wave Hawaii and Lokahi Collective. In the wake of the devastating wildfires that deeply impacted the Lahaina community, we’ve chosen to donate 50% of our proceeds to the Mauka-Makai Learning Lanai—a hands-on landscaping and restoration project led by students and teachers at Lahainaluna. This initiative not only helps beautify the school campus but also provides students with meaningful skills in agriculture, design, and community rebuilding—skills they are using to help their families restore their homes and lives.
By contributing to this project, we hope to offer a small but lasting gesture of support to the resilient students of Lahainaluna. Every purchase made through Lokahi Collective directly uplifts these efforts, helping to nurture a new generation of leaders grounded in aloha, purpose, and the spirit of lokahi—unity and togetherness. Mahalo to everyone who has supported this mission.
