We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Activities or mission (Part I)

PUNAHOU SCHOOL IS A PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL THAT IS RECOGNIZED FOR ITS ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, ATHLETICS, AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES FOR MORE THAN 3,750 STUDENTS IN GRADES K-12.

  • PUNAHOU SCHOOL IS A COEDUCATIONAL COLLEGE PREPARATORY DAY SCHOOL ACCREDITED BY THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES. PUNAHOU OFFERS EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE WITH MORE THAN 99 PERCENT OF GRADUATES ATTENDING COLLEGE. PUNAHOU IS DIVIDED INTO THE JUNIOR SCHOOL (KINDERGARTEN THROUGH GRADE 8) AND THE ACADEMY (GRADES 9-12). A PRINCIPAL, TWO ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, AND SIX DEANS OVERSEE APPROXIMATELY 2,000 JUNIOR SCHOOL STUDENTS. THE JUNIOR SCHOOL IS DIVIDED INTO SMALLER, SELF-CONTAINED SECTIONS FOR GRADES K-1, 2-5, AND 6-8 WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO MEET THE SPECIAL NEEDS OF THESE GROUPS OF CHILDREN. IN FALL 2019, THE KOSASA COMMUNITY FOR GRADES 2-5 WAS UNVEILED OFFERING STATE-OF-THE-ART CLASSROOMS AND EXPANSIVE OUTDOOR LEARNING SPACES TO PROMOTE INTERACTIVE LEARNING. THESE FACILITIES COMPLEMENT THE OMIDYAR NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH WAS BUILT IN 2010 TO SERVE THE 300 STUDENTS IN GRADES K AND 1. THE CASE MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS COMPLETED IN 2005 FOR GRADES 6-8. THIS EXPANDED AREA OF CAMPUS WAS DESIGNED FOR FACILITIES TO BE MORE OPEN TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND FOR CLASSROOM AND GATHERING SPACES TO ENCOURAGE COLLABORATION AND INTEGRATED LEARNING. SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION, SUCH AS OUTDOOR AND CAMP EXPERIENCES, ARE ALSO OFFERED IN THE JUNIOR SCHOOL. IN THE ACADEMY, STUDENTS GRADES 9-12 CAN PERSONALIZE THEIR MIX OF CLASSES FROM AN EXTENSIVE CATALOG OF COURSES WITHIN A MODULAR SCHEDULE. COLLEGE PREPARATORY GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE CREDITS IN ENGLISH, SCIENCE, SOCIAL STUDIES, MATHEMATICS, LANGUAGE, PHYSICAL EDUCATION, VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS, AND COMMUNITY SERVICE. THE PUNAHOU EDUCATION IS ENHANCED BY ACCESS TO LEARNING SPACES AND RESOURCES OFFERED THROUGH THE K-12 LEARNING COMMONS WHICH PROVIDES BOOKS, TECHNOLOGY, TOOLS, AND HUMAN RESOURCES THAT ASSIST STUDENTS WITH THEIR LEARNING AND PRESENTATIONS. STUDENTS ARE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO EXPLORE OTHER INTERESTS AND BUILD SKILLS BEYOND THOSE DEVELOPED IN THE CLASSROOM THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN PUNAHOU'S ACADEMIC CENTERS AND VARIOUS INITIATIVES, INCLUDING THE CASE ACCELERATOR FOR STUDENT ENTREPRENEURSHIP (CASE), DESIGN TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING, KUAIHELANI CENTER FOR 'IKE HAWAII, LUKE CENTER FOR PUBLIC SERVICE, OUTDOOR EDUCATION, SUSTAINABILITY, PARTNERSHIP IN UNLIMITED EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES (PUEO) PROGRAM, AND THE WO INTERNATIONAL CENTER. THESE ACADEMIC CENTERS AND INITIATIVES OFFER MENTORSHIP, HANDS ON EXPERIENCES, AND LEARNING OPPORTUNITES IN AREAS SUCH AS ENTREPRENEURSHIP, ROBOTICS AND ENGINEERING, ENGAGED CITIZENSHIP AND HAWAIIAN STUDIES, CIVIC AND GLOBAL EDUCATION. STUDENTS THAT DEMONSTRATE COMPETENCY IN THE AREA OF FOCUS FOR THESE EDUCATIONAL CENTERS MAY RECEIVE AN OFFICIAL DISTINCTION FROM THE CENTER RECOGNIZING THEIR WORK AND DEDICATION UPON GRADUATION.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Declared on its 2023 return

Declared as related by

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
