Programs
Maui forest bird recovery project (mfbrp) aims to conserve and recover native hawaiian forest bird populations through research and implementation of conservation techniques. In 2024, the mfbrp team deployed over 22 million incompatible insect technique (iit) mosquitoes across 3,000 acres on east maui to protect native birds against avian malaria. In a tandem effort with iit, a natural bacteria called bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (bti) - safe for everything except mosquito larva - was sprayed across a 720 acre area by helicopter nearly twice a month from august to december, continuing into 2025. While the efforts to maintain and create disease free habitat using iit and bti was underway, mfbrp collected 11 kiwikiu to start a captive population at maui bird conservation center - san diego zoo. Additionally, mfbrp successfully released 5 'alala (hawaiian crow) onto the landscape in east maui. The team has maintained a constant field presence since the release in november 2024. They have continued supplemental feeding and monitoring daily ever since.
$130,258 spent30% of program spendingEast maui watershed partnership (emwp) coordinates and implements management to protect east maui's forests. These areas house not only native rainforests but also serve as the primary water source for east maui communities. Emwp builds and maintains fences to protect this water resource in perpetuity and provides support for on-going forest and watershed restoration efforts in hawaii for the benefit of native hawaiian bird's habitats. In 2024, emwp reported that back country sites in koolau forest reserve have remained ungulate free and expanded the footprint of fence maintenance to hanawi natural area reserve. The team works on the ground to control high-elevation non-native plants (primarily himalayan ginger). In the fall of 2024, emwp organized their annual malama wao akua art show and involved artists of all ages from the maui community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $405k to $842k (+108%).
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: 2021 56% · 2022 37% · 2023 19% · 2024 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 9 funders, grant income rose $1k → $143k.
8 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% 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 NA KOA MANU CONSERVATION INC’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
NA KOA MANU CONSERVATION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
60% 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 NA KOA MANU CONSERVATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 87% · 2021 87% · 2022 67% · 2023 53% — 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.
How long its funders stay
50% of NA KOA MANU CONSERVATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 25% 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
NA KOA MANU CONSERVATION INC draws 65% of its grant income from funders outside Hawaii, across 9 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $93k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
