North Shore Give
North Shore Give enhances the quality of life on Kauaʻi’s remote North Shore by supporting meaningful initiatives that solve community challenges; building community well-being and resilience; and fostering collaboration among non-profits, community members, and organizations.
Projects and Initiatives
North Shore Give turns the shared needs of Kauaʻi’s remote North Shore into local action. Distance, limited services and a single road connecting our communities create daily challenges that require local solutions. We bring together residents, businesses, nonprofits and public partners to expand access to healthcare, strengthen disaster preparedness and response, support education, and build the community connections that make neighbors helping neighbors possible. Our focus is practical: identify what the North Shore needs, bring the right people and resources together, and make it happen.

Who is North Shore Give?
North Shore Give is a (501)(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to strengthening Kaua‘i’s remote North Shore. The area’s geographic remoteness makes it underserved in terms of healthcare, emergency response, and other critical services. North Shore Give addresses this by supporting locally driven solutions that expand community infrastructure and preparedness–focusing on increasing emergency preparedness, expanding medical services, and expanding access to education.

Guided by our core principles, we strive to foster a giving mindset, cultivate community partnerships, inform, and invest in our North Shore community.
