Since its creation in 1955, the University of Hawaii Foundation has become the focal point for fundraising for projects related to the university, campus, and students. One such project concerns Kapiolani Community College (KapCC), a public institution of higher education affiliated with the University of Hawaii.

In the garden called Māla Māunuunu, adjacent to KapCC, the university community has been working since 2008 to restore biodiversity by replanting traditional Hawaiian plant species.

The objective is twofold: environmental and cultural. On one hand, these plantings help retain moisture in the soil, recharge groundwater, and naturally attract rain thanks to the shade provided by the trees. On the other hand, the project enables the transmission of traditional Hawaiian knowledge regarding land and natural resource management. Since 2022, more than 1,800 volunteers have participated in this program of cultural and environmental preservation, guided by a dedicated coordinator.
