‘Iole, a nonprofit place-based research center and living scientific laboratory in Kohala on Hawai‘i Island, is bringing together academic experts, Native Hawaiian practitioners, community members, students and government leaders to develop sustainability solutions rooted in ancestral knowledge and indigenous practices.
‘Iole is the result of approximately 2,400 acres of land and assets given to HCF by the New Moon Foundation and the Kohala Institute. HCF, UH and ASU have committed to jointly raising $6.75 million for the operations of ‘Iole for the first three years of the project. The funding allows ‘Iole to focus on properly implementing programming and creating impact without being burdened by financial stress or constraint.
Minimum online gift is $25.
