The Kina'ole Foundation is a Native Hawaiian nonprofit corporation. Kinaʻole in Hawaiian translates to in Old Hawai’i, if a professional, whether a craftsman, artist, priest, or official, performed a particular task in his line of work, it was expected to be done without defect or flaws. Anything less was not acceptable. In operational terms, Kinaʻole means: Doing the right thing, in the right way, at the right time, in the right place, to the right person, for the right reason, with the right feeling – the first time!
As a Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO), the Kina'ole Foundation is controlled by native Hawaiians and its activities principally benefit Native Hawaiians. The Kina'ole Foundation filed articles of incorporation with State of Hawai’i Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs on September 6, 2006 and was approved as an IRC section 501 c (3) entity in February 25, 2010 with an effective date for exemption status of September 6, 2006.
