Plant Promise Fundraiser

A Promise to Every Plant

Did you know? Hawai’i is home to almost 1400 kinds of native plants! 

During Native Plant Month, help us fundraise $14,000, or $10 for each species. This represents our promise to protect and conserve each of them through Laukahi.

Help Us!

Hawaiʻi’s native plants are among the rarest in the world—and protecting them takes a strong community working together. During Native Plant Month, the Plant Promise fundraiser invites you to support the network that connects and strengthens plant conservation across the islands. You can help us in 3 ways!

     1. Donate

     2. Vote

     3. Tell your friends!

Support our Unique Services

Your gift supports the core work of the Laukahi Network: connecting conservation partners, centralizing information, and coordinating efforts to protect native plants statewide. These behind-the-scenes services help organizations collaborate more effectively and ensure conservation actions are guided by the best available knowledge.

Here’s a few examples of what we do. Together, we can protect Hawaiʻi’s native plants!
