Established in 2021, the SHAC Foundation was formed to provide nonprofit 501(c)(3) services that benefit Hawaiʻi growers across the islands.
Through strategic partnerships and grant-funded initiatives, the Foundation supports resilient agriculture, access to state and federal funding, and expands the reach of programs that directly serve local farmers and agricultural communities. From fiscal sponsorship programs to pass-through funding, we help agriculture grow!
