About the company
Waipa Foundation, a Native Hawaiian Organization-owned nonprofit based in Hanalei, Hawaii, serves as a federal grant recipient focused on cultural preservation, agricultural heritage, and ecosystem restoration in Hawaii, with a footprint of 13 awards (77% prime recipient, 23% sub-recipient) totaling $3.2 million obligated across eight customer agencies since 2007.
Waipa Foundation operates exclusively in the federal grant space, with no contract prime or contract vehicle participation. The foundation's concrete capability portfolio centers on designing and delivering educational visitor experiences rooted in Native Hawaiian food traditions, agricultural practices, and heritage tourism; watershed restoration and community resilience building; and nature-based solutions for coastal erosion, invasive species removal, and native plant restoration. The most recent award, dated October 1, 2025, is a $115,445 project grant from the Interior Business Center under the Native Hawaiian Community Guest Stewardship program (CFDA 15.068) running through September 30, 2027, to develop and deliver cultural foodways and food and farm tours in Hawaii that honor Hawaiian values while generating economic opportunities for Native Hawaiian communities. As a sub-recipient, Waipa Foundation has partnered with Kupu on a watershed restoration and community resilience project in Halelea, Kauai (June 2025), with The Trust For Public Land on "Mai Halaloa i Halulu" upland-to-shore restoration work (December 2024), and with the National Fish And Wildlife Foundation on invasive vegetation removal, native plant restoration, and coastal erosion reduction design at Waipa (February 2024).
Customer concentration leans heavily toward the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (4 awards) and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (3 awards), accounting for 77% of recent awards. Activity has been sparse but sustained — one or two awards per year in the 2013–2015 period, then a gap until 2024. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure.
