Kaulunani improves the health and viability of trees in Hawaiian communities through educational programs, financial support in the form of cost-share grants, technical training, Arbor Day promotion, and partnerships with the public and private sectors, community groups and not-for-profit organizations.

Since its inception in 1992, Kaulunani has awarded grants totaling over $1.3 million to more than 200 groups throughout the state. These organizations matched this federal fund with more than $4.5 million in cash and in-kind contributions while beautifying and educating their communities.
