Maui Partners
Hawaiʻi Community Foundation
Hawai‘i Community Fund was started over 100 years ago and founded on principles to be a HCF resource, partner, funder and an advocate. At the heart of everything they do is a commitment to deliver meaningful impact that will benefit Hawai‘i.
Main efforts include, making charitable investments more effective, providing cost effective services and administration for charitable giving, convene community members and leaders around key issues facing the community, create and manage grantmaking to achieve broad impact, and build and share knowledge that will raise the level and effectiveness of philanthropy and positive influence social change.
County of Maui Office of Economic Development
The County of Maui Office of Economic Development works in partnership with the community, business and government sectors to strengthen and diversify the economy by supporting existing businesses. In addition, they assist in the attraction, development and expansion of new businesses and events that will in turn provide new jobs for our community.
OCEAN Organic Farm & Distillery (OCEAN)
OCEAN embraces a mission with deeper purpose and understands that the ocean sustains all life. What we put in the air and on the land eventually makes its way to the ocean. A healthy ocean provides a healthier future for the planet and its inhabitants.
A portion of proceeds from all OCEAN tasting tours booked through this page is donated to Pacific Whale Foundation’s efforts. In addition, OCEAN is a valued venue sponsor for PWF’s hybrid World Whale Film Festival which takes place yearly with an in-person screening event on World Ocean Day followed by an online component that continues throughout the month.
Together, we strive to become stronger environmental stewards in championing this vital resource.
Maui United Way
Maui United Way works to address Maui’s most vital needs through the impact areas of Education, Income (sustainability) and Health. Our goal is to bring people, organizations and our community together around a common cause, a common vision, and a common path forward.
All of our work is guided by a deep desire to increase equity and decrease long-standing disparities for communities, including the AAPI populations, especially Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations. And 100% of the donations to Maui United Way stay in Hawaii.
Enchantress & Freeborne Gallery

Travis Morrin Photography
Travis Morrin has had an eye for visuals since childhood, when homework assignment margins got filled in with pencil sketches. Sustaining a love for drawing through high school on Maui and briefly dabbling in graphic design at art school in San Diego, Travis then turned his talents toward the culinary arts.
He has opened four restaurants (and counting) since 2010 with his business partners and best friends, including notable Maui brands Three’s Bar & Grill and Fork & Salad. As Hawaiʻi restaurants shut down for a time in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Travis put his focus into a different type of art, one that was very new to him: photography. With a willingness to learn and a passion for hiking, surfing and travel, Travis brought his camera along on any adventures he could find. Maintaining a deep respect for nature and culture, Travis did his best to solidify his technical skills, sharpen his artistic eye and appreciate the world around him.
