Mission

The specific purpose of Ho'ea - The Foundation is to provide grants to selected charitable, religious, and educational organizations that have demonstrated dedication and excellence in their respective mission. As a policy of the Foundation, all recipient organizations must be organized as either a nonprofit foundation or a corporation which is operated exclusively for charitable purposes and which has established its status as a tax-exempt organization and a public charity under Section50l(c)(3) and 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

People paid by the organization

None of the 7 people listed on these returns reported compensation from the organization. They are listed below.

Officers and directors, no compensation reported

7 people listed on the returns with $0 (or no amount) in every compensation column: current people first. Hours are as filed on the latest return each person appears on.

Who the money went to

Grants this organization reported paying: Schedule I Part II of the Form 990, or the grants-paid list on the 990-PF. Open a year for every recipient. Recipients link to their own page when the grant names an EIN we have (990-PF grants list no EIN, so those link only on an exact, unique name and state). Grants to individuals are counted; their names are not shown.

2018 · 8 grants to organizations · $20K
2017 · 7 grants to organizations · $12K · 1 grant to individuals · $2K
2016 · 5 grants to organizations · $10K

Negative amounts are returned or refunded grants; they are listed last and left out of the totals of grants paid.

Who gave

Contributors listed on Schedule B of the Form 990-PF: name, city and state as filed (street addresses are not shown), with total and noncash contributions for the year. A link to an organization's page is tagged Fuzzy with its name-similarity score (0 to 1) when it rests on name and state; Schedule B lists no EIN, so no link here is an exact identifier match.
