‘Imiloa continues to raise private funding support for the ”Adopt a Visit” program. Started in 2008, thanks to the support of a generous private foundation grant, the Adopt a Visit program fund makes it possible for schools across the island to visit ‘Imiloa free of charge, with both admission and transportation provided. We have a limited amount of funds available for free field trips and funds are allotted on a first-come, first-served basis. We respectfully ask only that beneficiaries share letters or artwork from visiting classes with us so that we may share them with the donors who have helped make these experiences possible for our local schoolchildren.
