About the company
Hula Preservation Society Maile Loo Division, a Native Hawaiian-owned, minority-owned, woman-owned nonprofit based in Kaneohe, Hawaii, acts as a federal grant recipient focused on Hawaiian cultural archival preservation, digital access, and indigenous knowledge stewardship. The organization operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient — no contract prime or sub awards appear in its federal footprint — and competes for project grants from cultural and humanities agencies rather than federal procurement vehicles.
The organization's capability portfolio centers on archival assessment, cataloging, digitization, and public dissemination of Hawaiian cultural materials, with emphasis on indigenous-centered knowledge organization and digital exhibition development. Representative recent work includes a $249,981 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the Native American/Native Hawaiian Museum Services Program (CFDA 45.308) to preserve and digitize the Kent Ghirard Collection, a territorial-era through statehood cultural archive, with performance through August 2028 in Kaneohe. Hula Preservation Society also received a $299,517 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities' Preservation and Access program to develop the first indigenous-centered controlled vocabulary for its oral history video library and prepare 60 integrated finding aids, with dissemination through the University of Hawaii, Hawaii State Public Library, and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs' Papakilo database. A $204,181 IMLS grant supported development of five virtual exhibitions on 20th-century Hawaii using over 700 digitized primary sources, implemented through June 2026.
Customer concentration is narrow and agency-specific. The top three funders account for 96% of awards: the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (12 awards), IMLS (7 awards), and the National Endowment for the Humanities (5 awards), with the National Endowment for the Arts (2 awards) and the National Park Service (1 award) rounding out the set. Total awards obligated across all twenty-eight grants since 2012 reach $3.2 million. Activity has been episodic rather than sustained — one award in 2026, one in 2024, two in 2023, one in 2022, and three in 2021 — with only one award reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure. Hula Preservation Society functions as an institutional custodian and interpreter of Native Hawaiian cultural heritage for national research, education, and access, with all work performed in Hawaii and disseminated nationwide through digital repositories and public programming.
