Sponsorship we proudly serve as fiscal sponsors for a hewlett foundation grant for the kaululehua hawaiian cultural center in support of a performing arts fellowship called "mahuahua: flourishing generational artistry." this initiative will bring together artists, students, and audiences of all backgrounds to deepen relationships between selected performing artists and their craft, with a focus on the traditional homelands from which their arts come and the homelands and native peoples in whose territory they reside. This is being achieved through community outreach, a master/apprentice program and a series of public lecture/demonstrations. The culmination of this initiative will be a "hoike" (performance) showcasing these traditional arts.

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 $180k to $79k (−56%).
