Manini Beach
The Bill Healy Foundation is committed to responsible and thoughtful grant giving in the State of Oregon and the State of Hawaii. We focus on Environmental Conservation and The Well Being of Children.
The Foundation has supported a wide variety of projects over the past 8 years. Our largest stewardship project to date is Manini Beach in Hawaii. The following is the Manini Beach story along with a list of all our past recipients.
Stewardship Project: Environment and Children
1999: Initial investment: $261,165.00
Approximate annual cost: $25,000
Hawaii - Kapahukapu - Manini Beach
One of the most enduring and long term efforts of the Foundation is the acquisition of a 29 year lease on 3/4 acre of beach property from the Kamehameha Schools located at the south shore of Kealakekua Bay in South Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. It has been known as Kapuhukapu for many centuries and was a former site of an ancient place of healing. Kealakekua Bay is a national marine reserve and one of the first sites where the Europeans made contact with native Hawaiians.
With the installation of picnic benches, bathrooms, daily maintenance, yearly community clean-ups of invasive weeds and debris, the trimming of coconut trees for safety and the elimination of cars on the beach, Manini Beach is a pristine local beach shared by all in the spirit of stewardship with respect for its history and natural beauty. It is a place that brings culture, tradition, tourists, children and local families together.
