Fred Dodge Memorial peace fund

The Fred Dodge Memorial Peace Fund is a new initiative launched by Mālama Mākua 501(c)3. Now with over 30 years of organizing experience for demilitarization and cultural restoration in sacred Mākua Valley, Mālama Mākua’s mission is to mālama the valley as a piko (center) of peace and hoʻihoʻi ʻea (sovereignty restored). This fund is designed to invest in this peace and justice work by providing $1,000 grants to individuals and grassroots organizations focused on the social, economic, and cultural well-being of our people and ʻāina across Waiʻanae Moku.

Recommendations for grantees are made through Mālama Mākua’s board of directors, in partnership with an ever-growing network of Waiʻanae-based change-makers. Together, we are actively engaged in tracking community needs and putting Hawaiian values into action to help the Waiʻanae coast thrive for generations to come.
