Other organizations at this address

3 other organizations in the IRS Business Master File list the same street address. matched by us

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.

Mission and programs · 2024

• PROGRAM PROVIDES SUPPORT, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, FACILIATION AND CAPACITY-BUILDING FOR COMMUNITY-BASED CONSERVATION PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT HAWAII.KUA CONTINUES TO SERVE THREE NETWORKS 1) E ALU PU (EAP) - MALAMA 'AINA OR COMMUNITY-BASED NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FROM RIDGE TO REEF, 2) HUI MALAMA LOKO I'A (HMLI) - HAWAIIAN FISHPOND CARETAKERS, AND 3) THE LIMU HUI (LH) - NATIVE SEAWEED GATHERERS, PRACTITIONERS, AND CULTIVATORS. EACH NETWORK NESTS GENERATIVE FOCUS GROUPS SUCH AS THE LAWAI'A PONO HUI (LPH) - THAT SUPPORTS COMMUNITY FISHERY MANAGEMENT - AND THE HATCHERY HUI - THAT SUPPORTS PROGRESS IN RESTORATIVE AQUACULTURE. THE ROLE OF THESE NETWORKS IS TO SUSTAIN MOMENTUM AND REMAIN ACTIVE IN THEIR ALLIANCE TO MALAMA AINA AND TO BE GENERATIVE IN THEIR WORK. 2024 WAS THE FIRST YEAR SINCE THE PANDEMIC KUA HELD ALL OF ITS LARGE ANNUAL NETWORK GATHERINGS IN PERSON. KUA ALSO CONTINUED TO BUILD ON OPPORTUNITIES FOR SMALLER CONTINGENTS TO GATHER AS WELL AS SMALL SCALE EXCHANGES AMONGST OUR ISLAND-WIDE NETWORKS. MANY MALAMA 'AINA EFFORTS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST YEAR, SOME THAT FOCUSED ON SHORT TERM GOALS SUCH AS EDUCATING THE PUBLIC AND DECISION-MAKERS ON LIMU, COMMUNITY-BASED FISHERY MANAGEMENT, STRATEGIZING AROUND LOKO I'A NEEDS, INVASIVE MULLET, RESTORATIVE AQUACULTURE AND RESEARCHING MOI SPAWNING. KUA ALSO SUPPORTED INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGES AMONG AQUACULTURAL PRACTITIONERS AND PRESENTED AND TOOK LEADERSHIP IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC COMMUNITY FISHERY DIALOGUES IN NADI, FIJI AND NOUMEA, NEW CALEDONIA. SOME HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED KUA LEADERSHIP KEYNOTE AND FISHER MOI SPAWNING RESEARCH PRESENTATIONS AT THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY CONVENTION IN HAWAI'I. A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE WAS A CULMINATION OF YEARS OF EFFORT, LIKE THE COLLECTIVE SUPPORT AND PASSAGE OF THE KIPAHULU COMMUNITY-BASED SUBSISTENCE FISHING AREA (CBSFA) PROCESS.

  Expenses $1,297,745 · Revenue $72,309

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
