Hale Kipa Receives Grant from HEI Charitable Foundation 

We recently received a $100,000, 4-year grant from the HEI Charitable Foundation. The grant supports Hale Kipa’s capital campaign to build a best-in-class complex on 4.26 acres located on Old Fort Weaver Road in Ewa that will serve as the agency’s headquarters. This location will consolidate Hale Kipa’s programs and operations to improve service quality, reduce costs and build a sense of place in West Oahu. / More
