About the company
Hi'ohia, a Native Hawaiian organization and non-profit based in Waianae, Hawaii, operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient focused on preserving and economically sustaining Native Hawaiian cultural knowledge and traditions. The organization has received three federal grants totaling $2 million from three distinct agencies since 2023, with all awards structured as prime recipient grants rather than contracts or subcontract work.
Hi'ohia's grant portfolio centers on Native Hawaiian cultural preservation and heritage tourism programming. The most recent award—$237,990 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the Native American/Native Hawaiian Museum Services Program (CFDA 45.308), announced September 1, 2026, and running through August 31, 2027—supports documentation and preservation of contemporary Native Hawaiian kapa (bark cloth) practitioners through a culturally governed digital repository and virtual exhibition. The project records oral histories and photographs of ten master kapa practitioners across Hawai'i, develops indigenous-protocol-compliant metadata describing techniques and design traditions, and organizes materials in a community-controlled digital platform accessible to practitioners, apprentices, and the public. A prior award of $199,999 from the Department of the Interior's Office of Native Hawaiian Relations under the Heritage (Tourism) Opportunities in Hawaii program (CFDA 15.068), funded October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, addresses economic sustainability for kapa practitioners by delivering nine monthly visitor workshops in traditional kapa-making techniques, nine monthly community workshops, an inaugural annual kapa convention functioning as a cultural marketplace, and advanced practitioner cohort training in heritage tourism business skills. The program targets increasing annual sales for twenty kapa makers by $1,200 each and developing heritage tourism business skills among ten practitioners. Hi'ohia also received a grant from the Administration for Native Americans (Department of Health and Human Services) in September 2023 for a project titled "Kuku Kapa E: Building Traditional Hawaiian Kapa Makers," running through September 2026. One award, the Interior-funded tourism grant, reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete opportunity in that window.
