Keiki First Foundation
Sand volleyball court on the West Hawaiʻi coast at golden hour

Capital Campaign · West Hawaiʻi

$44k gets us
on the sand.

One regulation sand court. That is the first milestone — and we are already $9,500 of the way there. Help us close the gap and break ground for Big Island keiki.

Phase 1 — Fund This First

One court.
One community.
$44,000.

Before the club house, before the gym, before anything else — our keiki need a place to play. A regulation FIVB sand court is the foundation everything else is built on. Fund Phase 1 and we break ground.

The Vision

A place every keiki can call home.

Right now, West Hawaiʻi youth athletes train without a permanent home. They travel to other courts, compete without proper gear, and miss tournaments because travel costs are out of reach. That is not the aloha spirit — and it is not good enough for our keiki.

We are changing that. With your support, we can build something the Big Island has never had — a dedicated, youth-first facility where our keiki can grow, compete, and belong. This is a legacy investment in the next generation of West Hawaiʻi leaders.

The Full Campaign

Six projects. One legacy.

The sand court is just the beginning. Once Phase 1 is funded and we break ground, these five additional projects complete the vision — a permanent, youth-first facility the Big Island has never had. Every dollar goes directly to one of these projects.

    ʻOhana Hub — Club House & Keiki Gym

    Est. $230,000

    One building permit. Two phases. One vision. The Club House comes first — a true gathering place for athletes, coaches, and ʻohana. The Keiki Gym follows in Phase 2, giving our keiki a world-class indoor training space that never closes, rain or shine. By building smart under a single permit, we reduce costs, cut approval timelines, and get our keiki on the court faster.

Be Part of Something Lasting

Help us close the gap
and break ground.

We are $34,500 away from fully funding Phase 1 — the regulation sand court that starts everything. Every dollar you give goes directly to the build. Once the court is funded, we move on to the club house, the Keiki Gym, and the full facility our keiki deserve.

Major donors and sponsors have the opportunity to name a project, a phase, or the facility itself. We would be honored to have you with us — and to carry your spirit forward for generations to come.
