Kulana Laulima Council (KLC) is a Hawaiʻi-based nonprofit organization created to support military members, veterans, and their families through charitable and educational programs that strengthen morale, resilience, stability, and long-term well-being.

The organization focuses on improving quality of life across the military lifecycle by supporting areas such as:

• Development — personal, family, and professional growth
• Transition — navigating military-to-civilian and other life transitions
• Recognition — honoring service and sacrifice
• Integration — helping military-connected families connect with community, education, and civilian life

KLC operates as a civilian nonprofit organization organized under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is governed by a Board of Directors that provides strategic oversight and fiduciary guidance rather than day-to-day operational management.

The Council’s mission is carried out through:

• Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR)-enhancing initiatives
• Educational support and enrichment
• Workforce and career readiness programs
• Wellness and resilience activities
• Community partnerships
• Scholarships and life-skills education

KLC is structured to provide year-round support in Hawaiʻi and through virtual platforms for geographically dispersed military families.
