What's sprouting?

Slow Money Hawaii has partnered with Hawaii Ulu Co-op to garner capital for their rapidly growing business.  They are bursting at the seams and need to at least double their freezer space, or triple it if possible.  That's right - they have created a market for Ulu with restaurants and grocers, and a cooperative for farmers to process and distribute their ulu crop!  This is one giant step forward for bringing ulu to the forefront as a food crop for Hawaii once again.  

With a Slow Money Hawaii endorsement Hawaii Ulu has killed it on Kiva!!  Fully funding their $10,000 loan in under 24 hours!!!! ​ Now they're working on their Slow Money loan.

  Wow!   I think we must have set a record of some kind!

Slow Money Hawaii recently endorsed Haleiwa's newest farm, Chris and Matt Holloway's Offshore Organics, for a $10,000 Kiva loan that was fully funded in barely more than 24 hours!!
Now we're working with them on a Slow Money loan through our networks.  Watch for this up and coming high tech aeroponics farm - they have a very unique and promising model.  Learn more about them here:  www.kiva.org/lend/1407915

    About the author:
    Mary Spadaro​

    Founder and facilitator of  Slow Money Hawaii, Mary spent a decade in small businesses before a 17 year career in non-profit fundraising.   At Waikiki Health Center and Easter Seals Hawaii, where she helped  donors align their philanthropy with their philanthropy, she came to understand that business and charity share the goal to be a force for good in their communities. Yet, they  are regarded so differently. After retiring from fund raising and pursuing her  interest in gardening and agriculture, Mary learned about the emerging third sector (also referred to as Values or Impact Investing) and Slow Money.  In this realm, she found the opportunity to combine her fundraising skills with her love of farms, garden-fresh food and nature to play a small role in helping Hawaii farmers to rebuild a sustain-able and regenerative agricultural system that will nourish us all.
