ONE MISSION · THREE CLEAR PATHS
Choose the role that fits you.

Explore this path →WHAT “PARTNER” MEANS HERE
A shared program—not an advertising package.
A program partner brings capability, access, knowledge, equipment, or community trust. Together we define a shared outcome and each organization's responsibilities.
If your goal is logo placement, a trackable QR code, and published campaign benefits, choose Sponsor a System. That commercial offer has its own pricing, onboarding, and agreement.
FOUR PARTNERSHIP LANES
Bring the piece only you can provide.
Every inquiry begins in one lane. If a collaboration includes several roles, the written scope keeps them organized.

PROPOSED YOUTH & COMMUNITY PATHWAY
Kimokeo Foundation concept.
SWDA is developing a child-focused ocean-stewardship concept with Uncle Kimokeo Kapahulehua and Kimokeo Foundation as the proposed demonstration and default community pathway.
The concept connects free beginner access, Hawaiian values, ocean confidence, and privacy-safe progress reporting. It remains a proposal until public language, youth protections, roles, charitable handling, and name or logo use are approved in writing.
A RESPONSIBLE PATH TO LAUNCH
Clarity before activation.
Partnerships move forward only when the mission, responsibilities, permissions, safety requirements, and financial handling are understood by everyone.
Align the mission
We identify the community need, shared outcome, and the right partnership lane.
Define every role
SWDA documents responsibilities, safeguarding, money flow, permissions, insurance, and reporting.
Approve written terms
Nothing is announced or activated until each organization approves the agreement.
Launch and report
The partnership activates with a clear owner, public wording, and privacy-safe impact measures.
NEED COMMERCIAL VISIBILITY INSTEAD?
Put your logo and QR code on a system.
The Sponsor a System page contains the published packages, pricing, campaign benefits, and business onboarding form.
START WITH THE SHARED OUTCOME
Tell us what your organization can help create.
Share your organization, proposed role, audience, resources, and desired community outcome. SWDA will route it to the correct partnership lane before any commitment is made.
Program partnerships are custom collaborations. Public announcements, youth activities, charitable handling, equipment commitments, name or logo use, and operating responsibilities begin only after written approval by the participating organizations.
