Become a Partner in Resilience: Introducing Our 2025-2026 Sponsorship Program
From living room conversations to advocating for securing millions in infrastructure funding, the Wildfire Safety Advocates of Waikoloa (WSAW) has grown into a powerful force for community safety. Our work is driven by a simple, urgent truth: a resilient community is a thriving community.
Today, we are excited to announce our 2025-2026 Partnership Opportunities, inviting local businesses and organizations to join us as formal Partners in Resilience. This is your chance to make a strategic investment in the safety and economic stability of the community you serve.
Why Partner With WSAW?
Wildfire is not just a safety issue; it is the single greatest threat to our community's economic continuity. A catastrophic fire would impact everyone—displacing families, disrupting the workforce, and devastating local businesses.
By partnering with WSAW, you are doing more than making a donation. You are actively:
Safeguarding Your Business: Protecting your physical assets and ensuring operational continuity from disaster.
Ensuring Economic Stability: A protected community means a stable customer base and employees who can get to work safely.
Demonstrating Leadership: Positioning your organization as a pillar of the community, committed to the long-term well-being of your customers and employees.

Advocated for over $2.5 million in dedicated funding for critical wildfire infrastructure.
Mobilized a coalition of 200+ community advocates.
Secured major media coverage and submitted 100+ letters of testimony to lawmakers.
Your sponsorship directly fuels this work, enabling us to continue our advocacy, education, and community mobilization efforts.
