At Maui Ohana Collective (MOC), we are dedicated to creating an alternative environment where all children can truly thrive outside of the conventional education system. Whether they are gifted or just looking for a place they can be themselves, we welcome families who want their children to experience an education that fosters creativity, self-exploration and holistic well-being. Through our Waldorf-inspired tutors, we emphasize hands-on, experiential learning and nurture social-emotional skills.

Our campaign is important because we believe each child deserves a place where they can flourish—free from the pressures of fitting into the mold of traditional schooling. Many adults know the struggle of not being understood or supported in conventional education systems. At MOC, we aim to change that for today’s generation by offering a safe space focused on personalized attention through small class sizes, social and emotional growth, and an emphasis on the arts and self-exploration.

By contributing to our campaign, you’ll be helping us provide a haven for children who deserve to feel seen, supported and empowered. Because we offer a competitive tuition and many work-trade and financial aid opportunities for families in need, your additional support will go a long way in helping us continue this mission. Plus, for those in the U.S., your contribution is tax-deductible, and you’ll receive a receipt as a thank-you for your generosity.

 

What We Need & What You Get

To continue providing and developing this unique educational experience, we are raising $25,000. Here’s how your contributions will help:

Program Development: Enhancing our curriculum to further support children’s social, emotional, and academic growth.

Supplies and Materials: Providing educational tools, outdoor learning equipment, and hands-on project materials for the children.

Support for Teachers: Offering stipends and resources for our talented educators, ensuring they can continue to provide personalized attention in our small, intimate classes.

Campus Improvements: Creating a nurturing and inspiring environment where children can learn, play, and grow.

If we don’t reach our full goal, funds raised will still be used to support these areas in a prioritized way, ensuring every dollar helps our mission.

Perks

We want to thank you for your generosity! Here’s what you can expect when you support our campaign:

Thank You : For any gift size of $5 or more, a digital thank you note will be sent to the backer.  

Personalized Handmade Cards: For any contribution over $50, you can dedicate your gift as a Christmas present to a loved one. They will receive a special handmade card created by one of our students, expressing their appreciation for your support.

Rudolph Steiner Quote T-shirt.  For gists over over $1000 we will send you a beautifully designed Maui Ohana T-shirt with a Rudolph Steiner quote and Seed Of Life design. Available in small, medium or large.

Tax Deductible Receipt: As a 501(c)(3) organization, we will provide you with a tax-deductible receipt for your donation, helping you lower your taxable income while supporting a meaningful cause.

The Impact

By supporting our campaign, you’re helping reshape the future of education and giving children the chance to cultivate their unique genius in an environment that values them as individuals. In a world of increasing pressures—especially from the influence of social media—Maui Ohana Collective offers children a safe space to explore, create, and be themselves.

This funding will allow us to continue providing small class sizes, ensuring that every child receives the personalized attention they deserve. We prioritize holistic development, nurturing each child’s social, emotional, and physical well-being to foster joyful, engaged learning. Your support will help us offer this enriching environment to families who believe in the power of unlocking every child’s potential.

Risks & Challenges

As with any project, there are challenges we may face. There could be hurdles in expanding our program or unexpected costs related to our facilities or supplies. However, we are confident in our team’s ability to overcome these challenges. Our dedicated educators, staff, and volunteers have a proven track record of adaptability and resourcefulness.

Your contribution will help us continue this journey of providing children with the environment they need to flourish. With your support, we will be able to turn any challenges into opportunities for growth.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you’re unable to contribute financially, there are still plenty of ways you can support our cause:

Spread the Word: Share our campaign with your friends, family, and social networks. Every share helps us reach more people who might be interested in supporting our mission.

Company Contributions: If you know of a company looking for a tax break as we near the end of the year, please let them know about our campaign. The holiday season is a time of giving, and businesses may be in the spirit of making charitable contributions.

Holiday Gift Giving: Consider dedicating your donation as a special holiday gift to someone you love. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate the season while making a real impact in the lives of children. Every gift dedicated as a Christmas present will come with a personalized, handmade card from one of our students.

Thank you for your support in helping us create a brighter, more joyful future for our children!
