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) community 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.
