Hau‘oli Mau Loa Foundation is a private grantmaking foundation established by Helga Glaesel-Hollenback who, in her words, “found great happiness in the islands of Hawai‘i” and sought “to return the generosity of the islands.” As such, the Foundation is grounded in Hawai‘i’s cultures and values. The Foundation holds an annual convening of partner grantees with two goals in mind: to provide a space where they could share and learn from one another, and to help them feel excited and renewed. This year’s convening will be hosted by Mālaʻai, the Culinary Garden of Waimea Middle School in Waimea, Hawaiʻi Island.
