What happened
Ka Honua Momona (KHM) describes itself as "a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, based on the island of Molokai." Its mission is to be a model of sustainability from the mountains to the sea, and it lists two long-term goals: developing indigenous education systems by revitalizing natural and cultural resources, and perpetuating traditional knowledge and stewardship alongside modern technology.
The IRS-linked name differs from the site name. ProPublica lists EIN 20-0987319 as KHM International, "Ka Honua Momona International," in Kaunakakai, Hawaii, with tax exemption issued in August 2004. KHM's own home page gives its mailing address as "Ka Honua Momona International, PO Box 482188, Kaunakakai," which matches the ProPublica name and town, so the two are very likely the same organization.
KHM's programs include a Live Smart microgrid energy system, a breastfeeding education program, and education work. Its leadership page says that from 2010 to 2015 it piloted a women's shared leadership model, and that during that time it accomplished "increasingly healthy fishponds" and a new office building. Its home page lists its address as the Aliʻi Fishpond on Kamehameha V Highway.
Its pages describe no land purchase or return.
Good to know. Its legal registered name is KHM International. It runs programs and stewards a fishpond but has not bought or received land.
