Funding Needs

Building the resilience of West Hawaiʻi requires a community of supporters enabling this work. Your support at any level helps us give the reef a fighting chance against local and global challenges.

All donations are made through the Foundation associated with Arizona State University, the managing partner for ʻĀkoʻakoʻa, so that your donations are completely tax deductible. All of your donation will go toward supporting work in Hawaiʻi.
