Kelii William Ioane Legacy Foundation

Kelii William Ioane Legacy Foundation operates as a Native Hawaiian Organization-owned non-profit entity based in Keaau, Hawaii, and participates in federal funding exclusively as a sub-recipient on Native Hawaiian community forestry and health grants managed by the University of Hawaii as prime recipient. The foundation has not held prime contracts or grants; all three recent awards are sub-award positions funded through the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region.

Kelii William Ioane Legacy Foundation's federal footprint is narrowly focused on a single program and grantor. The foundation has received three sub-award grants, each titled "Native Hawaiian Homestead Associations: Community Forests and Family Trees for Native Hawaiian Health and Well-Being," awarded on November 7, 2024; February 14, 2025; and April 21, 2026, with the University of Hawaii as the prime recipient in each case. Combined dollars obligated across these three awards total $196 thousand. Activity has remained flat at one sub-award per calendar year with no growth trajectory evident in the limited source data.

The foundation's role centers on community forestry, family health and well-being, and Native Hawaiian homestead association support as a sub-recipient partner to the University of Hawaii. The single customer agency across all awards is the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region, representing 100% of the foundation's documented federal award activity. No prime contracting vehicles, IDIQs, BPAs, or multi-year blanket agreements appear in the source. The foundation does not appear to operate as a defense or civilian IT services vendor, nor does it hold standing on government-wide acquisition vehicles.
