Mission and programs · 2024

• Since our inception in 2020, Mai Movement Hawaii has successfully established itself as a trusted provider in the community. No local organizations are singularly focused on tackling period poverty and menstrual inequity through a multi-pronged approach of programs and services, advocacy, and local-based education. Mai Movement Hawaii is a locally grown grassroots organization and 501(c)3 nonprofit founded by Native Hawaiian sisters, Brandy-Lee Yee, Nikki-Ann Yee, and Jamie-Lee Kapana in October 202.We at Mai Movement Hawai'i believe it is our kuleana, or responsibility, to ensure all individuals of menstruation age have access to sanitary products, safe and hygienic places to use them, and the right to manage their bodies without shame or stigma. Mai Movement is not simply about providing products, but it intersects our advocacy and education efforts in every program we run to guarantee systemic change for a radically improved future for girls, women, and people who menstruate. Moreover, being a Native Hawai'ian, women-led organization, Mai Movement is deeply committed to menstrual equity because of our personal experiences with menstruation and our heritage. Menstruation and period poverty is still not widely viewed as a critical issue, especially in comparison to housing or food insecurity, but we are still working to change that. The current economic situation remains bleak for a majority of local households, and has only exacerbated social, racial, gender, and economic inequalities that existed. Moreover, the growing hostility towards reproductive rights makes our work more critical than ever. Not only are we taking down access, economic, and social barriers around menstruation, but we are empowering a generation to advocate for themselves and their community. There has been incredible growth in our statewide distribution. In November-December 2020, we distributed 23,900 disposable period products. In our first full year of distribution in 2021, we sent out 226,204 disposable and reusable period products. The number of products sent out statewide increased by 60% in 2022 with a distribution of 362,800 disposable and reusable period products. In 2023, we distributed nearly 459,000 disposable and reusable period products, making us the only organization focused on distributing period products to address the needs of individuals affected by the Maui wildfires. And in 2024, we distributed nearly 207,000 disposable and reusable period products. In the 2024 Hawai'i State Legislature, we introduced bills and resolutions to make period products free and available in state buildings. $400,000 was allocated in the state budget for the Department of Accounting and General Services to implement the initiative. In our efforts to build community and coalitions around our legislative work, we continue to teach community members how to lobby and advocate for the passage of bills to address period poverty. We have also run a statewide campaign, Malama Your Mai, to raise donations and recognize Period Poverty Awareness week in May since 2021. This past year, we traveled to Maui, Kauai, Oahu and Hawaii Island to host kit making with volunteers and our partner organizations. All kits made on island were donated to our partner organizations on that island.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. 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.
