As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Line#94 membership dues and assessments: the membership dues contributed significantly to hasa's exempt purposes by establishing a formal organized surf entity where mostly youth-aged surfers could become a part of an organization. The annual dues paid entitles the members to pay a reduced entrance fee by $20 to $25 per event. The sense of belonging to an organization and the reduced entrance fee helps hasa to recruit new membership by 5% to 10% over the past few years. With the increase in membership hasa was able to enhance public awareness by providing competitive amateur surf competitions to more surfers. In addition, the organization promotes local surfers to compete in the upcoming 2020 olympic games in japan.
$178,522 spent$111,334 earned by the program100% of program spendingLine #101: net income from special events: the entrance fees paid by contestants helped the surfers to experience an organized amateur surf competition, where not only skill is involved but sportsmanship is also exhibited. These surf meets help the more proficient surfers to compete with the world's best wave riders. In addition, the surf meets provide experience for the judges to qualify them for world competition.
Line #103a: the income generated through advertising and sponsorship allows the organization to expose the art of surfing to the general public. It also helps to perpetuate this ancient hawaiian sport not only locally but throughout the world. Banners, flags and t-shirts displaying a surf meet helps to promote surfing among its island visitors.
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $178,522.
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 2017 to 2018, from $163k to $96k (−41%).
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.
53% of HAWAII SURFING ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (18% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

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.

1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
HAWAII SURFING ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 67% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
33% 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 SURFING ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2022 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.

Where its funders are

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16 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.
