About the Foundation

At The Kalei Foundation, through community partnerships and scholarship support, we help families discover meaningful opportunities that encourage development, independence, and belonging. Our mission is to open doors to experiences that foster creativity, physical activity, and personal growth for youth who have historically been underrepresented in these programs.

We believe children are not defined by limitations – they are defined by their potential.

Scholarship Process

The Kalei Foundation supports children with a wide range of developmental, neurological, and physical differences. Our programs are designed to provide inclusive opportunities for youth with diverse abilities. 

Step 1

Go to the Application Page and be sure to read over the information needed to apply thoroughly

Step 2

Once the form has been completed, you will receive an email confirming your submission and providing you with a link to upload any documents that may be needed.

Step 3

After we receive all necessary documents and confirm program availability and program selection, you will receive a phone call from one of our staff members to introduce you to the manager or director of the program you selected.

Step 4

We pay the Organization directly, while you and your child just show up and have fun!

Partner Organizations

The Kalei Foundation is grateful for the organizations and program providers who partner with us to create inclusive opportunities for children with special needs. These partnerships allow families to connect with trusted programs that support creativity, physical activity, & personal development. 
Each partnership represents a shared commitment to inclusion, community support, and the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to participate.

Youth Support

Having access to sports, art, music, agricultural programs, etc. can have a meaningful impact on a child's physical health, emotional well-being, communication skills, and self confidence. However, access can be limited due to financial barriers, availability of trained instructors, or geographic location. 
Your donations to The Kalei Foundation help remove those barriers. Your contributions support these scholarships needed to allow children with special needs to explore new interests, develop skills and partricipate in activities that enrich their lives.
