What Hawaii Primary Care Association does
Mission
Dedicated to fostering primary health care for all hawaii residents, particularly the medically underserved. The mission of the Hawaii Primary Care Association is to improve the health of communities in need by advocating for, expanding access to, and sustaining high quality care through the statewide network of community health centers.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Training and technical assistance - the objective of the training and technical assistance (tta) component of the hpca is to provide consistent, timely, and relevant support to the community health centers (chc) in their ongoing efforts to attain excellence in all aspects of their healthcare delivery system. To keep hpca's tta support relevant, we strive to conduct tta assessments on an annual basis with all member chcs. The assessment findings are used to revise the hpca's tta workplan to assure that tta services provided are aligned with chcs needs and remain relevant. Tta accomplishments are measured and tracked in two main ways: (1) through data collected by the health resources and services administration's (hrsa) uniform data system (uds), and (2) by evaluation processes embedded into our workplan activities. The following are the accomplishments of the hpca's tta efforts. Although these counts cross over into the current fiscal year, it provides a comprehensive overview of the number of tta events and interactions hpca staff have managed. - 84 tta sessions- 1,515 chc staff participated in 34 hpca sponsored trainings- 223 chc staff received direct support- 402 hpca learning…

A major strategy we continue to employ to this end is the fostering and sustaining of strong partnerships with healthcare and public health stakeholders external to membership. We are consistently and intentionally investing time and effort to solidify and strengthen our success in this area. The following are major partnerships hpca has successfully nurtured and strengthened during this period. - hawaii department of health - school health - pediatric behavioral health - chronic disease prevention - food prescription program - communicable disease surveillance- hawaii department of human services - medicaid programming - nutritional support- john a.

$145,743 spent4% of program spendingSpecial projects - maui county chc media campaign: during the early and more recent surges of the covid pandemic, the maui county chcs (malama ike ola, hana health, molokai community health center, and lanai community health center) felt it was critically important to let their communities know that they were all still fully operational and continuing to provide comprehensive medical, dental, behavioral, drug, vision, and other services to over 18,000 maui county residents. They wanted to assure their communities that they were on the front lines of the covid crisis, and served anyone whether the person had private insurance, medicare, medicaid, or no insurance at all. The maui county chcs turned to the hpca for expertise and technical support to launch their social media campaign through a combination of communication outlets. Other than the maintenance of a website, this project continues to be paused during this fiscal year (2024-2025). National policy advisor: the purpose of this project is to retain strategic expertise to advance the ability of community health centers (chc) and primary care associations (pca) to navigate a rapidly changing and complex policy and regulatory…
$3,775 spent0% of program spendingPrevention - hana kihapai - the hana kihapai enterprise will allow hpca to explore innovations in health and creative partnerships outside of traditional healthcare systems to improve health outcomes for communities served by chcs. For example, hana kihapai continues to support our national diabetes prevention program (ndpp) effort. The ndpp is an evidence-based primary prevention program focused on delaying and/or preventing individuals with pre-diabetes from developing type 2 diabetes. Hana kihapai provides a flexible infrastructure that will be leveraged to bring additional programs to our communities in new and exciting ways, such as working with local food hubs to increase access to fresh produce for ndpp participants. As we move forward, hana kihapai will serve as a foundation for launching future health and social service initiatives, all based in our commitment to improving health outcomes across hawaii's communities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2023 to 2024, from $2.7M to $1.9M (−32%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 94% · 2018 84% · 2019 88% · 2020 87% · 2021 98% · 2022 68% · 2023 93% · 2024 86% · 2025 89%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of HAWAII PRIMARY CARE ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $43k → $918k.
2 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 32% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $178k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Alohacare). These are real filings, and they are not money HAWAII PRIMARY CARE ASSOCIATION raised.
From the IRS filings of HAWAII PRIMARY CARE ASSOCIATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 9 of 10 funders by total. 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 PRIMARY CARE ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 87%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% 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 PRIMARY CARE ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 137% · 2019 100% · 2020 91% · 2021 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
How long its funders stay
0% of HAWAII PRIMARY CARE ASSOCIATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 10% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
HAWAII PRIMARY CARE ASSOCIATION draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Hawaii, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $550k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
