We have an unblemished record of repayment to investors – through good and bad economic times. Your investment is protected by our low default rate, our excellent history of repayment from borrowers, and by pooling investor funds with grants so the risk is shared across the loan portfolio.

We are a nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution that is certified by the US Department of the Treasury.

Investments are straightforward and uncorrelated to traditional fixed-income instruments. You will earn simple annual interest, regardless of the ups and downs of the bond market.

Your investment will have a fixed maturity date and can be rolled over or paid out upon maturity, at your discretion.

About Nikki

Nikki Hollern is a mother of five, born and raised in Upcountry Maui, but she spent the last 15 years in the beautiful town of Lahaina. Lahaina stole her heart, with the people and the town being unlike any other. After the fire, her family had to relocate to Kahului.

Her heart remains in Lahaina, and her goal is to help this amazing community get back to where they belong. She feels blessed to have the opportunity to be part of the HCL ‘ohana, helping navigate this incredibly hard time and hopefully serving as a guiding light to assist the community in returning home and coming back even stronger.
