Keaukaha-Panaʻewa Community Alliance (KPCA) was incorporated in 2012 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) entity. A small number of Keaukaha-Panaʻewa Farmers Association (KPFA) members formed KPCA to focus on seeking funding opportunities to support KPFAsʻ objectives and projects. The mission of KPCA is to align with KPFA to serve our community, and to serve as KPFAʻs fiscal sponsor. KPCAʻs role in this partnership is to streamline acquisition of funding to support KPFAʻs community serving programs.
The mission of KPCA is to also serve as engagement agents with various communities, agencies and partners related to initiatives that impact our community or lāhui. Our commitment to best represent the collective perspectives, concerns, and needs of our community requires that we facilitate community engagement and initiate engagement with agencies and partners. These engagements include:
Sovereign Council of Hawaiian Homestead Associations
DHHL Commission [ Meeting Schedule ]
Office of Hawaiian Affairs Board of Trustees [ Meeting Schedule ]
