The Iliahi Foundation of Hawai'i

With the recent passing in January of 2017 of Jim Haley, our co-founder in 2000 and manager of all Operations over the years,

the day to day active operations of the Iliahi Foundation have ceased.

All remaining assets including the shadehouses we built have been turned over to the Nature Conservancy of Hawaii. Our remaining cash assets will be gifted towards the permanent support of our Web site as public documentation of our work record and achievements over the years.

Our legacy will continue on through:

-the memory of Jim Haley and all of us who worked so hard on behalf of the Iliahi Foundation and the peoples of Hawaii

-the continued work of the many young people educated through IF educational programs and activities,

-our Iliahi Foundation web site which is permanently funded and will be maintained by the Larson Family Foundation,

-and by the thousands of native Hawaiian species of trees and plants that were outplanted in the forests of the Waianae and the Koolau.  They will continue to flourish and provide a permanent seed bank for those who follow us into the forests with the intent to continue our work to preserve, protect and enhance the species native to the Hawaiian Islands and the associated history and the culture of Hawaii.

Co-founder Jon Larson will continue to oversee all matters related to the Iliahi Foundation during this period as we unwind the affairs of our Iliahi Foundation.
