About PAF

Our mission fuels us. Our future calls us.

We are here to improve the lives of Pacific Americans with competence, integrity, humility, and aloha.

The Pacific American Foundation (PAF) is a Native Hawaiian-led nonprofit with 30 years of experience delivering culturally grounded, research-based learning and leadership solutions for Hawai‘i’s schools, organizations, and communities. Our work is anchored in the Nā Hopena A‘o (HĀ) framework and global best practices for sustainable systems change.

We partner with schools, complexes, agencies, nonprofits, and corporate teams to design and deliver professional learning, retreats, and community-based programs that build capacity, strengthen culture, and improve outcomes.
