Aloha from the Parks Family Foundation

Our Focus

Since 2002, the Parks Family Foundation has proudly supported Hawaiʻi’s communities through thoughtful grantmaking. We partner with local nonprofits working at the intersection of sustainable agriculture, local food security, and community economic development.

Sustainable Agriculture

Strengthening local food systems, regenerative farming, and land stewardship across the islands.

Local Economic Development

Building stronger, more resilient communities through local economic growth relating to food systems.

Hawaiʻi’s Future

Supporting innovative approaches that honor our islands’ unique environment and cultural heritage.

Our Impact

For nearly 25 years we have quietly invested in organizations that make a lasting difference in Hawaiʻi through vital community agriculture and related cultural restoration.

Our Roots in Hawaiʻi

The Parks family’s story is deeply woven into Hawaiʻi’s history, blending European heritage with our Native Hawaiian ancestral lineage from Maui. This living legacy inspires everything that we and the Foundation do.
