Take Action
Donate
Donating to HWMO aids our ability to assist communities, natural resource managers, and many others to become safer through our risk reduction programs. We are funded by grants and donations. We are not a government agency but rather we carry out the work typically implemented by government agencies but we do not have any permanent consistent funding from any governmental source.
Thank you for your contribution to this important work that only HWMO offers within the state of Hawaiʻi. Your charitable donation to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit will receive a donation receipt.
