Optimize the value and use of current financial and non-financial resources and actively seek and develop new resources. Approximately 98 percent of the revenue that supports Kamehameha Schools comes from its endowment. This reliance on a sole source requires that we take a conservative and long-term approach to our investments. This approach helps ensure that our programs and services continue in perpetuity. During this decade of progress, we . . . • Instituted investment and spending policies to ensure that our financial resources serve today's learners as well as those of future generations. • Created Ke Ali'i Pauahi Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports our educational mission by cultivating scholarship funds and awarding post-high scholarships to Hawaiian learners. • Developed a plan establishing five values to guide all of our Hawai'i land transactions: education, economics, environment, culture and community.

Foster the development of leaders who focus on service to others. Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop was a true servant leader. Since the inception of our strategic plan, we have made an institutionwide effort to instill the leadership qualities she exemplified in our campus and community learners. During this decade of progress, we. . . • Created the First Nations' Futures Fellowship program aimed at developing service leaders to steward natural and cultural resources in perpetuity. • Developed the Kūlia I Ka Pono summer enrichment program whieh hones servant leadership skills in students through a connection to the 'āina. • Awarded over $120 million in post-high scholarships with special consideration given to students pursuing careers contributing to the well-being of Hawaiians.
