Hawaii Community Foundation

In the year 2000, New Moon Foundation developed a partnership with Hawai’i Community Foundation (HCF) of Waimea whose mission is to help people make a difference by inspiring the spirit of giving and by investing in people and solutions to benefit our Island community. Over the past seven years, through the creation of the New Moon Fund administered by HCF, NMF had been able to support numerous organizations in their efforts to bring worthwhile programs to our community. We are grateful to the New Moon Fund grant recipients which include The American Cancer Society, The Kahilu Theatre Foundation of Waimea, The Kohala Center, Kohala’s Project Venture, West Hawai`i Mediation Center, West Hawai`i Cemetery Reforestation Project, and many others, for their dedication and beneficial contributions to the people of Hawai`i. In February 2007, NMF closed the New Moon Fund at HCF in order to focus on programs that could be conducted at our Sweet Water land holdings in North Kohala. The majority of these programs are expected to be land-based until the NMF residential campus is complete.
