Hawaii nonprofits are increasingly asked to do more and very soon you’ll likley be fielding many requests for end of the year charitable gifts. How you decide to give will probably turn on how well you see the organization using donations to serve the community it targets….and whether that means a chapter of a large national organization or a smaller local group, how you judge its effectiveness could hinge on how well they meet the community where it is. Rich Hardwood of the Maryland-based Harwood Institute for Public Innovation calls that turning outward… Rich Harwood is the keynote speaker at the Hawaii Alliance of Nonprofit Organizations conference on Friday and he’s with us today.

Zanuck Kapala Lindsey and Ron Kualaau’s new CD is called “Koko;” it’s a tribute to the idea of ‘ohana and to ‘ohana members past and present.  It was originally conceived as the work of three men, but one ‘ohana member, Kalani Flores, was lost to illness before the project was completed.  The recording is dedicated to him, and Zanuck is with us this morning.

A scene from 2015 Men's March Against Violence

Every year, you may have date or season by which you mark the progress you’ve made in your life...maybe it’s a graduation date, a birthday or an anniversary. Next week, the Men’s March Against Violence marks its twenty-second year of bringing men into the active support of women and the end of domestic violence. But the progress is slow. Still, for advocates - both men and women- the path continues to move forward year over year even if the domestic violence statistics seem to only inch lower. Nanci Kreidman is CEO of the Domestic Violence Action Center. She has spent decades working to create better understanding of the prevalence of domestic violence.

Outro Music: Morning by William Wild
