Who We Are

A Native Hawaiian Organization Committed to Community

Hawaiian Native Corporation (HNC) is a Hawaiʻi-based community impact organization that benefits Native Hawaiians by supporting initiatives that sustain our culture and our well-being. Founded in February 2004 and managed primarily by Native Hawaiians, HNC is federally certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration as a Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO).

As a nonprofit registered with the State of Hawai’i, HNC is funded by the economic engines of its portfolio companies, collectively known as LAUKOA, and reinvests those proceeds directly into the Native Hawaiian community.
