The catastrophic fires on Maui that have claimed dozens of lives and destroyed nearly all buildings in the historic section of Lahaina are being described as the worst natural disaster in Hawaii’s history.
Please contribute what you can to support organizations working around the clock to provide emergency housing and relief services to displaced families and climate refugees across Maui.
Donations benefit the Maui Community Power Recovery Fund—which includes the groups listed below—the Hawaiian Humane Society, and the Maui Food Bank.
Maui Community Power Recovery Fund groups include:
- Our Hawai’i is organizing a grassroots political movement to create a Hawai‘i that puts local working kama‘āina and Kānaka Maoli families first.
- ‘Āina Momona is a community organization dedicated to achieving environmental health and sustainability through social justice and restoring Hawaiian sovereignty.
- Hawai'i Funder Hui partners community organizations with philanthropists to deliver equitable, community-led funding of non-profits in Hawai’i.
