The GAP Foundation mission is to enrich lives and foster community through the provision of free beach activities, offering respite, and celebrating Hawaiian culture.  We are committed to creating opportunities where individuals and families can unwind, connect, and immerse themselves in the beauty and traditions of Hawaii.

Through our dedication to accessibility,  we aim to remove barriers and provide equal opportunities for all to experience the joy and rejuvenation of beach activities.  Whether it’s surfing, snorkeling, or simply relaxing at the lagoon, we believe that everyone should have the chance to enjoy the ocean’s therapeutic benefits.

Additionally, we recognize the importance of offering respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Our programs and services provide individuals with moments of tranquility and serenity amidst the stunning backdrop of Ko Olina.

Central to our mission is the celebration and preservation of Hawaiian culture.  Through educational experiences, cultural workshops, and community events, we seek to honor the rich heritage of the islands and promote understanding and appreciation for Hawaiian traditions.

At the GAP Foundation, we are driven by a passion for creating meaningful connections and fostering a sense of belonging.  Together, we strive to build a vibrant and resilient community where everyone can thrive.
