About Nuestro Futuro
Nuestro Futuro Inc. makes place-based grants that connect education, youth development, food security, and addiction recovery in Hawaiʻi, with every reported grant going to a recipient in the state. Its largest recent award, $112,500 to Grow Some Good, points to a strong interest in hands-on learning linked to food, agriculture, and the environment. Other large gifts show a broad community lens: Honolulu Civil Beat received $100,000 for community building, and Lahaina Community Land Trust also received $100,000 for community building. The foundation’s giving reaches across Maui Nui and other parts of Hawaiʻi through schools, nonprofits, and community organizations. Recent education grants support groups such as University of Hawaii Foundation, Hawaiian Islands Land Trust, Hawaii Animal Rescue Foundation, Maui Huliau Foundation, Haiku School Pta, and Kekaulike High School Foundation Inc. The portfolio also includes food-security support for Hawaii Food Basket and Maui United Way, plus addiction-recovery funding for Maui Economic Opportunity, Piha Wellness, Maui Farm, and Maui Cle Solutions. The mix suggests a funder that backs direct services and community institutions rather than a single issue area.
What Nuestro Futuro Funds
Education is a central theme. In 2025, Nuestro Futuro Inc. gave $60,000 to University of Hawaii Foundation and $50,618 to Hawaiian Islands Land Trust, both listed under education, along with $20,000 to Hana Arts and $20,000 to Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center for the same category. Food security is another clear focus. Hawaii Food Basket received $25,000, Maui United Way received $20,000, and Maui Farmer Support Network received $10,000. The foundation also backed addiction recovery and prevention through $51,758 to Maui Economic Opportunity and $15,000 to Piha Wellness, indicating support for both prevention and recovery-oriented services. Community building appears alongside these areas, with grants to Pacific Birth Collective, Friends of Twin Falls, and Hawaii Public Radio. Together, the awards show a portfolio oriented toward local organizations serving families, youth, and neighborhood networks.
How Nuestro Futuro Gives
The reported recent grants range from $3,000 to $112,500. Several awards cluster around $10,000 to $20,000, with a smaller number of larger gifts above $50,000. That pattern suggests a mix of anchor grants and lower-dollar program support. The foundation is a private foundation and a regular funder, not a DAF vehicle, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its active grant programs describe multi-year, unrestricted support and trust-based philanthropy. The listed programs also accept unsolicited applications, with a focus on community-based nonprofits across Maui Nui and Hawaiʻi.
