Our Purpose
Our purpose, our “Why,” is the Alaka`ina Foundation. We are an organization that has been long-committed to serving our Federal clients’ objectives; we are also driven to give back to our communities. The goal of Alaka`ina 501(c)3 is to ensure that the young men and women of Hawai`i have the skills and competencies they need to be effective leaders. Alaka`ina is making this a reality by developing innovative educational programs that combine leadership, science and technology, and environmental stewardship. Each member of the Alaka`ina Foundation FOCs is profoundly dedicated to the success of our customers as well as that of our charity.

Our Vision and Values
Our vision is to ensure customers achieve their mission objectives through our synchronized solutions.

Our values were born from Native Hawaiian culture and are prevalent in everything we do. In Hawaiian society, guests and strangers alike are welcomed with the spirit of aloha. Everyone has a responsibility to use his or her talents to the benefit of the entire `Ohana or family. We believe that `Ohana embraces not just our immediate family but also our companies, our customers, our communities, and ultimately—the reason why we do what we do—our charity, Alaka`ina 501(c)3.

What makes us different from other organizations is not only our NHO status—but what we do, how we do it, and why we do it. Our organization’s values are based on the following five principles: Ho`omau, Po`okela, Kuleana, Laulima, and Kupono.

These five principles guide our relationships in our workplace and communities. They are the cornerstones of the FOCs and are critical to forming productive, long-term customer relationships; attracting and retaining talent; and contributing to the communities in which we operate. It is this aloha spirit—as much as our technical excellence—that is the foundation of our continued success and ultimately our charity’s success.
