Public records

What public records already say about Hawaii organizations, assembled from public sources and linked back to them. Every figure carries the page it came from. Nothing here is a rating, a score, or an assessment — we show what is on file, and we say what we looked for and could not find.

• Nonprofits

  12 organizations verified and on file

  Tax-exempt organizations that file an IRS Form 990 — identifiers, filing history, and what each source did and did not return. The records exist; the pages that render them are in review, because publishing a page about an organization that never asked us to is worth checking twice.

• Campaigns

  Blocked on a source

  Not scheduled, and we would rather say why than call it coming soon. Hawaii’s campaign-spending datasets that can be published without exposing private donors’ names and home addresses cover only the voluntary public-financing programs. Well-funded candidates do not appear in them at all — the Governor and the Mayor of Honolulu each return zero rows, while minor candidates return complete ones.

  A candidate surface built on that would show empty pages for the best-funded campaigns and full pages for their opponents: the opposite of the truth, wearing the same template. We are not shipping it until a source covers every candidate equally.
