Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Kinai 'Eha was incorporated as a non-profit organization under the laws of the State of Hawai'i in 2017. The organization provides workforce development training in the construction, landscaping, and custodial trades using a trauma-informed, culturally relevant approach. Youth participants learn and practice critical work readiness skills, such as timeliness and positive work ethic. Our programs include hands-on workforce development training, education, and financial literacy. We promote positive living and social skills and create opportunities for a healthy lifestyle that promotes mental wellness and positive expression.

  • Kinai 'Eha aims to provide an alternative education option to opio that are in need of and seeking purpose, personal empowerment, education, Hawaiian cultural identity and connection, workforce training in construction and the trades, community service and leadership. We believe in identifying and building upon the strengths of the opio, connecting them to the larger lahui and ultimately developing their individual level of self-sufficiency. Through Hawaiian culture-based education and trauma informed approaches we have laid a kahua that develops the two most critical success elements of the program: Puuhonua & 'Ohana. Our C.A.S.E Management - Clarity, Awareness, Significance and Empowerment are the four pillars of Kinai 'Eha and they guide program and service delivery, individual and ohana intervention and action plans.

    Expenses $685,402

  • Kinai 'Eha launched Hale Ka Hana, a 10-bed residential shelter for work-ready young adults ages 18-24 in December 2021. The Hale is staffed 24/7 with residential management experienced in mentoring youth/young adults and trained in trauma-informed care. It provides stable residency for homeless young adults that want to participate in our workforce development program at Kinai 'Eha.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.

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.
