Faleomavaega Foundation
Navigating Our Future
Established in 2003 as a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the Eni & Hina Faleomavaega Foundation funds scholarships for undergraduate and trade school students of Pacific Island descent. We also support initiatives that benefit veterans and preserve Pacific Island culture, language, music, and dance.
