Habilitat is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Habilitat is unique in the world of rehabilitation not only because of our success rate, but the fact that we are self-supporting. Many of the residents given a second chance at life are here on a full scholarship. See the information below to find out how you can help give someone the gift of hope and a new future. Mahalo to all who stand with us in our struggle to regain control of our lives. Habilitat is a BBB Accredited Charity and receives a score of 100 on Charity Navigator.
Monetary
Monetary donations go toward providing scholarships for residents who can’t afford the program. We also have a G.E.D fund that provides education for all residents who do not have a diploma or G.E.D. It is mandatory that any resident that does not have a diploma go to G.E.D. class held three times a week under the instruction of a certified teacher.
Our product donations fall mostly under five categories. The description of each is listed below. Thank you to all of our past, current and future supporters. It is through your support we are able to continue to make a difference!
We have an average of 120 residents at any given time at Habilitat as well as two fully functioning businesses. The operating needs are quite costly and we do whatever we can to alleviate the costs of running the facility. Office needs, hygiene, and clothing are the areas in which we spend the most money and are currently doing our best to acquire these items. Check out our Amazon wish list here.
For the last 20 years we have held an annual luau fundraiser featuring a huge live and silent auction. The event has been on hold due to the pandemic so we are partnering with Hawaii’s biggest online auction to raise funds and offer awesome products to our supporters. Habilitat is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization and all donations are 100% tax deductible. Learn more about our online auction.
Every holiday season we make sure there is a box of clothes under the tree for each resident to open. The boxes are filled with a variety of needed clothing items.
We celebrate holidays in a big way here at Habilitat. Check out our Mother’s Day page for a great example of what we’re talking about. We host large celebrations for our residents and their families on Christmas and Easter.

For over half a century Habilitat has been the place of change for thousands of families. Habilitat is more than a non-profit; it is a home, a school, and the place of change for over one hundred individuals. After 50 years on Kaneohe Bay our facility has taken some wear.
