Welcome, ʻOhana.
If you’re here, it’s because you care about Hawaiʻi’s people, ʻāina, and culture. We read every message with aloha and kuleana. This page gathers the best ways to reach us, aligned with our values and the Diamond standard of our platform.
OUR SHARED KULEANA
Support Local Hawaii exists to uplift—not monetize—Hawaiʻi’s People, Land, and Culture. Listings on our platform are Local Diamonds: individuals and organizations who have earned their place through authentic impact, mālama ʻāina, and cultural integrity. Your outreach helps us shine a light on those doing this work with pono.
HOW WE CAN CONNECT
Choose the path that best matches your purpose. If you’re not sure, share your manaʻo below and we’ll route it with care.
1) Suggest a Diamond
Know a business, practitioner, kūpuna, artist, farmer, healer, or grassroots group living these values? Nominate them. We thoughtfully review all suggestions against our core criteria (aloha, kuleana, sustainability, cultural preservation, community impact).
Tell us: Who they are, what they do, links, and specific examples of impact.
2) Share a Moʻolelo (Story)
We uplift moʻolelo that nurture understanding and inspire action—stories of resilience, cultural practice, community healing, and mālama ʻāina in motion.
Tell us: A short title, a 3–5 sentence summary, relevant links/media, and any permissions we should know about.
3) Volunteer / Offer Skills
Many hands, many gifts (laulima). If you feel called to kōkua, we welcome offers of time and talent—storytelling, filming, editing, tech, design, education, event support, loʻi/limu work, and more.
Tell us: Skills you’d like to offer and where you feel most called to help.
4) Partnership / Collaboration

Tell us: Your organization, a brief proposal, goals, and any timeline or resources.
5) Press / Media
For interviews, features, and speaking requests about our mission and the Diamond standard.
