Pledge Multi-Year Support
It takes people like you, with a vision and passion for Hawai‘i, to help Hawaiʻi Land Trust fulfill its promise of perpetuity. By remembering HILT in your will, you ensure that future generations will benefit from HILT’s mission to protect the special places that sustain us. Your support is vital to the perpetual stewardship of the thousands of conservation acres we monitor and maintain each year.

Upon our founding, the result of a merger of four separate island land trusts, several donors stepped forward to ensure the survival of the new organization. They each made a multi-year pledge of at least $10,000 providing much-needed revenue the organization could count on in the coming years. They were called The Founding Few. Today, individuals who pledge multi-year support, at a minimum of $10,000 a year for at least three years are known as Na Koa Aina. These individuals have a deep understanding of HILT’s work and provide major support, creating profound impact.
The Founding Few, 2011
“In ancient Hawai‘i, ʻāina was the most revered natural resource. As Hawaiians used the abundant natural resources within their ahupua‘a, they practiced aloha, laulima,, and malama which resulted in a desirable pono. This is sound resource management where the interconnectedness of the clouds, the forests, the streams, the fishponds, the sea, and the people is clearly recognized.”
