MAUI STRONG PADDLING FUND

The Maui Strong Paddling Fund was established in 2022 and is dedicated to providing financial resources and assistance to Maui paddling community members to help with long term needs to rebuild their lives and get them back on the water.

​​

The Maui Strong Fund supports recovery and rebuilding for people and families in the Maui paddling community who were directly affected by the devastating wildfires.  It serves as a central hub for financial and community support, helping paddlers and their ʻohana recover, rebuild, and get back on the water.

​

This initiative brings together paddlers, supporters, and the worldwide paddling community to provide practical help and aloha during this long-term recovery process.

​

The Maui Paddling Hui has developed a committee including representation from all canoe clubs as well as community members to help assess needs and allocate funds.

Maui Padding Hui is currently a 501(c)(4) organization with an application in process to become a 501(c)(3) organization. While gifts to 501(c)(4) organizations are not deductible as charitable contributions, once the IRS provides a determination letter confirming its 501(c)(3) status, all gifts received will qualify to be deductible as charitable donations. We will provide you with a letter confirming your gift as soon as the IRS responds to our application. Please contact your tax preparer for advice about how this might affect you.
