Support the Source
Join the Movement
Your donation helps protect, preserve, and perpetuate the ancestral knowledge and practices tied to ʻawa, a sacred Hawaiian canoe plant. Every gift supports community-based education, ʻāina stewardship, kupuna knowledge sharing, and ethical ʻawa cultivation rooted in Hawaiian values.
By giving, you are helping us strengthen the connection between ʻāina, ʻohana, and culture — ensuring future generations can inherit both the plant and its wisdom. Together, we can honor the Source and grow a resilient, culturally grounded community.
Join us in mālama — every contribution makes a lasting impact.
MAHALO!
Spread the Word
Mālama is more than a donation — it’s a commitment to community, culture, and ʻāina.
If you’re looking to give back beyond a financial gift, there are many ways to join our efforts:
Volunteer on the ʻĀina — Help care for ʻawa, tend to the land, and support hands-on learning days at our Hāmākua farm.
Attend a Workshop — Join our educational gatherings, ʻaha ʻawa ceremonies, and ʻāina-based learning sessions across Hawaiʻi Island.
Share Knowledge — Whether you are a kupuna, practitioner, student, or simply curious — your stories, skills, and voice are essential to protecting ʻawa culture.
Community Partnerships — We welcome collaboration with schools, organizations, farmers, and cultural practitioners who share our vision.
Mālama starts with connection.
