About the Kāʻanapali Ocean Resort Foundation  and Charitable Trust

Our Mission and Vision

  • Our Vision is to communicate and demonstrate hoʻokipa (hospitality, especially to strangers) and mālama (to care for, serve, honor, protect) for our Maui ʻohana (family) by physically and financially supporting local community needs.
  • Our Mission is to be locally impactful with, and good stewards of, the funds provided to us by the owners of Westin KOR and KORN. 
​Trustees recognize that these cultural values are rooted in the indigenous people of the islands. Working closely with Hawaiian cultural practitioners, the trustees strive to build understanding, educating themselves and informing the work of the charitable trust.

Focused on high-reach and high-impact donations.
Always caring.
​​Always working cohesively with the community
