Every booking helps Hawaiʻi recover.

Manawaleʻa means “to give” in Hawaiian. In response to the March 2026 historic flooding — roughly two trillion gallons of rainwater across multiple Hawaiian islands — Hanahou is currently committing up to $1,000 to organizations supporting Hawaiʻi flood relief. As Hanahou grows, this commitment grows with us. Every signup. Every booking. Every move forward.

    = $15
  • Planner signups
    8× $1 per planner
    = $8
  • Bookings confirmed
    2× $10 per booking
    = $20
Where the support goes

Manawaleʻa donations support organizations supporting Hawaiʻi flood relief.

Disbursement to qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations is made quarterly. Recipients are chosen based on active flood relief and recovery work in Hawaiʻi at the time of disbursement; multiple organizations may receive funds from each batch. Disbursement records are available on request.

Donations accrue at the time each platform action fires and are paid out in batches. This page reflects committed dollars; settled batches appear in the receipts section below as they post.

Payouts

Receipts as batches settle.

Donations log immediately when each platform action fires; the founder pays them out in batches off-platform. Each settled batch posts here with the date and amount.

First batch posts after launch.

Donations are accruing now and will appear here once the first batch settles.
Why now

March 2026 brought roughly two trillion gallons of rain.

Historic flooding across multiple Hawaiian islands displaced families, damaged infrastructure, and disrupted the kinds of celebrations Hanahou exists to support. Recovery is a long effort.

Manawaleʻa is Hanahou's first formal commitment to that recovery. It is small relative to the need — but it is real, measurable, and tied to the everyday work of the platform: a vendor activated, a planner saving their first vendor, a booking confirmed.

Currently committing up to $1,000 to organizations supporting Hawaiʻi flood relief. As Hanahou grows, this commitment grows with us — new tiers added as each is reached.
