Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

Improve the quality of life for the people of Hawaii by promoting excellence in hospice, end of life care, palliative care, and early advanced care planning.

  • Statewide Network. Since 1999, Kokua Mau has served as a statewide coalition to help those facing serious illness and their loved ones. Our actively managed website has accurate information care planning, including advanced directives and post, palliative care, Hospice care, and grief and bereavement services. This information is free of charge and is used widely across the state. Our newsletter goes out on a regular basis sharing information, resources and training for those involved with serious illness care. We also conduct regular training, meetings and palliative care clinical case discussions for the entire community. We work with providers, health plans, long term care facilities, state agencies, and other stakeholders to keep serious illness care on the agenda in various policy and program areas. We also answer questions from the public and professionals on Advance Care Planning, POLST, palliative care, hospice, bereavement, mortuaries and other related topics.

  • Advanced care planning (ACP) including POLST. Kokua Mau's ACP program conducts workshops and training to make conversations about serious illness the norm in our community. Our ACP coordinator conducts community training across the state for the public and for professionals. Because of the pandemic, many sessions shifted to zoom but we have now begun in person sessions again. Kokua Mau is the coordinator for the POLST program, an out-of-hospital medical order that documents patients' medical orders. Kokua Mau's website is the official site for the program. Kokua Mau does education and outreach for professionals and public across the state, staffs the POLST leadership task force and serves on national committees. The Executive Director has been elected to serve on the National POLST Board.

    Expenses $66,947 · Revenue $31,320

  • Building palliative care. Kokua Mau continues its focus on building palliative care awareness and capacity in Hawaii and the USAPI. Kokua Mau runs a Palliative Care Awareness committee which meets monthly to increase awareness and engagement of both professionals and the public. As a part of that committee, Kokua Mau has done training for a variety of professional groups as well as for the public including cancer survivors. Kokua Mau has also done training with USAPI jurisdictions to boost their palliative care programs. Kokua Mau continues to update its web pages for families, patients, and caregivers to make sure that the most accurate information is included.

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.

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.

Other IRS files

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.
