| At Ho'omalu Ke Kai, we are deeply committed to the preservation and rejuvenation of our precious marine ecosystems. Through our Marine Ecosystem Conservation & Restoration program, we implement a multifaceted approach aimed at addressing the challenges facing our oceans. First, in collaboration with the Division of Aquatic Resources, Kaua'i, we conduct vital coral reef survey work to assess the health and condition of our underwater ecosystems. Our efforts involve training local youth interested in marine biology in scuba diving and marine research techniques. Through this training, we prepare these individuals to contribute to the Association of American Underwater Scientists (AAUS) program with DAR. Conducting underwater fish and habitat use surveys, as well as coral reef surveys to collect crucial baseline and longterm data helps to support future restoration programs and conservation efforts. Second, we recognized the urgent need for action against threats by climate change, pollution, and other human activities to our coral reefs. We have established a comprehensive coral restoration program through careful monitoring, research, and hands-on restoration efforts. We are working to rebuild and revive damaged coral reefs, ensuring their resilience and longevity for generations to come. Lastly, in collaboration with Kaua'i Sea Farm, we are proud to be involved in restorative aquaculture projects at Nomilu, an incredibly unique and special Native Hawaiian Fishpond. By helping the family and caretakers to restore the pond with members of the community and next generation groups, we aim to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem health not only in the fishpond, but also surrounding marine ecosystems that also benefit from the repercussions of this important work. | $58,242 | $28,955 |
| At Ho'omalu Ke Kai, we are passionate about keeping our oceans clean and healthy for current and future generations. Through our Ocean Cleanups & Marine Debris Upcycling program, we are actively tackling the issue of marine debris while promoting innovative solutions for a more sustainable future. Underwater Cleanups: First, our dedicated team conducts regular underwater cleanups, carefully disentangling corals and removing hazards for other marine life. These efforts are essential for preserving the delicate balance of our underwater ecosystems. Second, from sandy beaches to remote coastlines, our shoreline cleanups are a vital part of our conservation efforts. We sift through sand for microplastics and scale rocks to remove large nets and other debris, ensuring that our coastlines remain pristine and free from pollution. We believe in the power of community involvement. That's why we host monthly cleanups open to all members of the community, as well as specialized cleanups for school groups and educational programs. Each year, we remove 10-20k lbs of marine debris, making a significant impact on the health of our oceans. Lastly, through innovative upcycling initiatives, we give new life to collected marine debris. With the help of Precious Plastic machinery and Matoha Science Infrared Spectrometer Plastic Identification machine, we transform plastic waste into useful and durable materials, saving it from ending up in landfills and contributing to a circular economy. | $39,403 | $44,689 |
| At Ho'omalu Ke Kai, we believe that education is key to fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of our marine ecosystems. Through our Educational Outreach & Engagement program, we are dedicated to empowering individuals of all ages to become stewards of the ocean. First, we host a variety of community workshops and events designed to educate and inspire. From hands-on beach cleanups to interactive presentations on marine conservation, we provide opportunities for individuals to learn about the importance of preserving our oceans and how they can play an active role in protection efforts. Second, we recognize the vital role that schools play in shaping the future of our planet. That's why we offer tailored programs for students of all ages, providing engaging and informative sessions that align with curriculum standards. Through classroom presentations, field trips, and experiential learning activities, we aim to instill a sense of environmental stewardship in the next generation. Lastly, we believe in the power of youth to drive positive change. Through our youth leadership programs, we empower young individuals to become advocates for the ocean. From leadership training to hands-on conservation projects, we provide opportunities for youth to develop their skills and make a meaningful impact in their communities. | $5,000 | $16,837 |

“Prior to tax year 2023, the Organization filed Form 990-N for 2020, 2021 and 2022. 2023 was the first year the Organization has gross annual receipts of $50,000 or more. In previous years, the fund balance of the Organization was never required to be inputted on the Form 990-N. Now that there is a filing requirement of the Form-990 EZ for tax year 2023, the net assets and fund balances are required to be disclosed on the return. The $22,826 listed as Change in Net Assets or Fund Balances represents the Organization's accumulated earnings from tax years 2020, 2021 and 2022, which were not disclosed on Form 990-N.

| IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt | 0 | The Organization's supported organization(s) is designated by way of grant application and acceptance each grant period. Due to the nature of the grant application process, the Organization may have a different supported organization(s) in any given tax year based upon which supported organization(s) extends a grant in that tax year. |
| IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt | 1 | The Organization maintained a close and continuous working relationship with the supported organization by frequently communicating over topics such as: grant application status, approval and payment delivery timeline, fiscal year budget submissions and document and information requests. |
| IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt | 2 | The supported organization, the Office of Economic Development within the County of Kauai, provides grants for programs, projects, and events that promote and nurture sustainable economic development within Kauai County consistent with the community's needs and priorities. The Organization received the aforementioned grant during the tax year and used the funds to continue their efforts in the three programs that currently operate under the Organization:Marine ecosystem conservation and restoration, ocean cleanups and marine debris upcycling, and educational outreach. |
| IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt | 3 | The Organization is an already established pillar of the community that is known for their conservation and community efforts. The Organization is equipped with volunteers, supplies, tools and machinery. As a result, the Organization was able to take on activities that the supported organization would normally be involved in, which is to promote and nurture sustainable economic development within Kauai County. |
