I. APPLICANT INFORMATION <br /> 1. Brief history of the applicant organization. Include the date of incorporation as a <br /> non-profit organization. <br /> The Ala Kahakai Trail Association (ATA) began as an interim organization in 2006 and became <br /> a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 2008. ATA's mission is to support and guide a <br /> community-managed trail that honors those who came before and perpetuates for those to <br /> follow— with protocols and respect for Hawaii past, present and future. As a Native Hawaiian <br /> Organization (NHO) that consists of members with genealogical ties to areas where sections of <br /> the trail network are located, ATA helps to ensure that the Hawaii Island trail system is <br /> well-connected to the community and that Hawaiian values and principles are in place and <br /> practiced. We work to foster various kinds of partnerships and help to guide the work of <br /> managing and sustaining the trail with consideration for the vision and goals of the diverse <br /> communities that the trails connect. <br /> 2. Other source(s) of financial support: <br /> Private donations, fundraising and grants. <br /> FINAL 2026 Stewardship Grant Application,Page 12 of 13 <br /> 26-06 <br />
