Who we are
The Arch Project is a grass roots organization that is dedicated to bridging the love for the sport of rock climbing and the spirit of aloha. Our goal is to give back to the people of Hawaii and show respect to the land we call our home and playground. By providing a platform and organizing events, we want to foster an organic relationship between the sport, its enthusiasts, and the local community. In doing so we will grow awareness for what matters most - being a cohesive group that gives back.

How we got started...
Nancy and Nate were two individuals with a dream to build a non-profit organization that bridged their passions, climbing and the community. Nancy, co-founder and partner of The Arch Project Climbing Center, and Nate, a veterinarian and co-founder and partner of the Arch Project Climbing Center, both had been involved with community service organizations and decided to create their own through The Arch Project Hawaii as a way to connect with other like minded individuals in hopes to inspire and be inspired by our peers, elders and future generations.
Our entire board is made up of volunteers and are not paid as board members. Any and all donations fund the running of the non-profit such as website fees, insurance, and event licenses. Donations also fund the tools, buckets, and gloves we offer for use during our clean-up, trail maintenance, and conservation events. Your donations also allow us to hold our biggest annual event of the Reel Rock film festival and pays for site fees, food/drink and associated licenses as well as the film license itself. All of the profit from Reel Rock goes to benefit another charity and does not go back into our own non-profit.
