What Hawaii Peace and Justice does
Mission
Work to promote social justice, peace, and ea ((life, sovereignty, rising, breath) in hawai'I through grassroots organizing, nonviolent direct actions, providing popular education workshops, and utilizing art activism as a tool for social change. Hpj seeks a demilitarized and de-occupied hawai'I and pacific that is socially just and environmentally sustainable. We imagine a world that collectively stops military expansion and returns and restores militarily controlled lands to the kanaka maoli, and to all indigenous people demanding independence throughout oceania. We organize to create a world of genuine security and climate justice.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
This past year, koa futures, our community organizing and campaign efforts, focused heavily on uplifting youth leadership in hawaii by developing skills in advocacy, outreach, and civic engagement. Youth participants helped raise public awareness, strengthen our community base, and organize collective action to put public pressure on the state of hawaii, through the department of land and natural resources (dlnr), to reject the u.s. Army's final environmental impact statements related to the proposed renewal of military land leases. Hpj staff worked in coalition with native hawaiian organizations, including malama makua, hapa, and haa, to mobilize community members to attend public meetings, submit testimony, and demand a more complete and transparent accounting of past environmental damage, current mitigation measures, and future alternatives. We also participated in community tabling events such as la kuokoa, the onipaa march, and other public gatherings to share educational resources, connect with community members, recruit new supporters, and expand awareness of ongoing land justice and demilitarization efforts. These activities included community education, youth leadership…
$29,824 spent$893 earned by the program55% of program spendingYouth program: hpj worked diligently to build trusting relationships with community organizations, including malama makua, pals/places, native hawaiian student services (nhss), and kalihi valley instructional bike exchange (kvibe), to provide youth programming centered on education, leadership development, and community connection. These programs explored hawaii's historical context, political education, cultural grounding, and the development of organizing and leadership skills. We hosted our fourth annual youth liberation camp, where 11 youth ages 20 to 25 participated in a three day program focused on what it takes to build a strategic campaign through workshops, activities, and collective learning. In partnership with kalihi valley instructional bike exchange (kvibe), we held our annual bike detour for middle and high school students, teaching the history of puuloa (pearl harbor) prior to militarization. With native hawaiian student services, we facilitated workshops with their hawaiian diaspora bridging program focused on kuleana (responsibility) and the importance of returning home to help protect and restore hawaii. With pals/places, we worked with west oahu youth from…
$24,001 spent45% of program spendingThroughout the past year, hpj continued to participate in coalition based community work that strengthens peacebuilding, civic engagement, and popular education efforts across hawaii, the pacific, and other impacted communities transnationally. We collaborated with organizations such as pacific peace network (ppn), anakbayan, jewish voice for peace (jvp), and other community partners to share resources, build relationships, and support dialogue on the social, environmental, and economic impacts of militarization. This collaborative work is an important part of hpjs mission, as we recognize that meaningful community change requires partnership and collective action. Through regular meetings, educational events, and community discussions, we stayed informed on developments affecting communities across the pacific and globally, including humanitarian issues and conflict zones. We also engaged youth and community members in conversations about positive pathways for the future, including education, leadership development, public service, and career opportunities beyond military recruitment. These efforts helped communities better understand interconnected issues while encouraging…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $126k to $873k (+591%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
96% of HAWAII PEACE AND JUSTICE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $8k → $265k.
9 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 61% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of HAWAII PEACE AND JUSTICE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
HAWAII PEACE AND JUSTICE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
93% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund HAWAII PEACE AND JUSTICE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2022 72% · 2023 38% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
61% of HAWAII PEACE AND JUSTICE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $390k that is directly attributable, 65% of it comes from funders outside Hawaii, across 5 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $604k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
HAWAII PEACE AND JUSTICE runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 7,175 community improvement nonprofits its size.
