Grassroot Institute of Hawaii

The Grassroot Institute of Hawaii is a nonprofit policy research organization that aims to educate individuals about the values of individual liberty, economic freedom and accountable government. Through the publication of accurate and timely research and commentaries, along with organizing events, conferences, and seminars, the institute informs Hawaii’s policymakers, news media, and the public-at-large about key public policy issues. Founded in 2001, it has provided the intellectual foundations for many local policy debates. While functioning as a thought leader, the institute is equally committed to promoting action through practical change. In the spirit of “E hana kakou” (Let’s work together), it strives to bring Hawaii’s people together to work for a better economy, better governance, and a better society. The Grassroot Institute of Hawaii refuses funding from any governments — local, state, or federal — to maintain its role as an independent voice and watchdog. As an IRS 501(c)3 organization, the institute is nonpartisan and does not endorse political candidates or parties. Notably, the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii is a member of the State Policy Network, the nation’s leading network of state-based think tanks. It is headquartered in the United States and operates within the education sector. Currently, there is no available information about their last investment or the investors involved.
