The Foundation provides services and programs for vulnerable or moderate and low-income children and families to become financially independent and contributing members of society.

ARDA-Hawai‘i is the local chapter of the American Resort Development Association, the national timeshare trade association. Hawai‘i’s timeshare units account for 13% of the state’s visitor lodging inventory and thousands of jobs.
