About Malama Pacific Foundation

BROOKE SHINDO

President​

​

The Malama Pacific Foundation was established in 2019 with an initial goal of supporting youth baseball through community-centered tournaments. The organization began when Brooke, driven by her love for the sport and her commitment to student-athletes, partnered with her father to create a nonprofit structure designed to sustainably fund local baseball events. What started as a small initiative quickly expanded as both demand and impact grew.

​

Over the years, Brooke has organized and supported tournaments across multiple regions, beginning in her home state of Hawaii and extending across the mainland United States.These tournaments provided more than just playing time; they strengthened community engagement and created life-changing pathways for young athletes.

Through these efforts, the Malama Pacific Foundation gained the trust of partners who believe in this mission. Notable supporters, including Horizon Aircraft, contributed the donations and resources that allowed the foundation to expand its programs and increase its community footprint. Brooke’s dedication has inspired a growing network of volunteers, families, and local leaders to join in supporting youth development through sports.

​

Broadening Our Purpose

As the foundation grew, Brooke recognized a deeper challenge affecting many early-stage nonprofits. Through conversations with friends and community members, she saw how difficult it was for new NPOs to secure the initial funding needed to fulfill their missions. These insights revealed a significant gap: many passionate individuals had great ideas to serve their communities but lacked the "start-up" capital required to get off the ground.

​

Our Mission Today: Funding New Visions

In response, the Malama Pacific Foundation has evolved. While we remain proud of our roots in youth sports, we have broadened our purpose to proactively fund emerging nonprofits. Our mission now centers on helping new organizations establish a strong start. We are currently seeking to partner with and provide startup funding to aspiring community leaders who have the vision to bring meaningful change to the world around them but need the financial resources to begin.
