The Cinco Hermanos Fund of the Orange County Community Foundation and NFWF work together to prevent the near-term extinction of Hawai‘i’s most imperiled forest birds through targeted conservation investments focused on captive care and capacity building. 

Through NFWF’s Hawai‘i Conservation Program, this partnership emphasizes sustaining and enhancing captive care programs that establish populations while strengthening the capacity needed to deliver conservation at scale. To date, support from the Cinco Hermanos Fund has helped to advance the conservation objectives in NFWF’s Hawaiʻi Conservation Business Plan to strategically protect and enhance essential habitats in Hawai‘i to reduce extinction risk and sustain resilient populations of native species.
