501c3 Non-Profit Status
7GEN Culture operates as a 501c3 non-profit organization, underscoring our commitment to community service and sustainable development. Our non-profit status enables us to focus on long-term impact and reinvest in the community, ensuring that our initiatives benefit the people of Hawai‘i and align with the Seventh Generation Principle. Donations and support from our sponsors and partners directly contribute to the advancement of our mission, enhancing the cultural, environmental, and social fabric of the community.

Ahupua‘a Centered Approach
Drawing inspiration from the Native Hawaiian ahupua‘a system, where all necessary resources from mountain to sea provide for a sustainable community, 7GEN Culture brings together stakeholders to organize events that are sustainable and mutually beneficial. This philosophy of collective strength and mutual benefit guides everything from event organization to internal governance. We embody this principle daily, ensuring our actions and events reflect shared responsibility and rewards.
7GEN Culture’s influence on the sports industry and event hosting in Hawai‘i integrates seamlessly with the four pillars of the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority: Natural Resources, Hawaiian Culture, Community, and Brand Marketing. This fusion creates unique and authentic sports experiences that not only showcase athletic prowess but also honor Hawai‘i’s rich natural resources and cultural heritage. Our events celebrate the island’s unique culture and environment, incorporating sustainable practices that align with the preservation of Hawai‘i’s natural resources.
The partnership between 7GEN Culture and the community amplifies the cultural significance of sports events. By incorporating traditional Hawaiian practices, rituals, and storytelling into the sporting landscape, our events transform into immersive cultural experiences that educate and engage attendees. The Hawai‘i community is integral to this collaboration, as 7GEN Culture actively involves local residents in planning and executing events, promoting a sense of ownership and pride. Our brand marketing strategies ensure that these events are successful and contribute positively to Hawai‘i’s image, attracting visitors and sponsors alike.
