President's message

Your guidance shapes HANO

Since HANO's inception, we've sought feedback about how to help Hawaii nonprofits and you've responded. Several major themes have emerged.  Many have said HANO should:

• Create a "map" of the nonprofit landscape in Hawaii
• Help nonprofits share their stories
• Help nonprofits and the larger community to network, exchange information and experiences, and identify and leverage partnership opportunities
• Help nonprofits locate resources -- everything from funding opportunities to nonprofit-friendly products and services
• Collect, compile and share information specific to the sector such as trends and salary studies, both national and local
• Collect and share nonprofit best practices and standards of excellence

Your guidance has shaped our vision for HANO. Based on it, we are planning an online tool that we believe will fill the many needs you've identified.

As we plan, your input remains critical. In the next few weeks, you will receive an online survey to help fine-tune our design.  Please help us by completing the survey when it comes your way.  As always, your input matters to us!
