Mahalo is the premier platform where strategy meets soul. Our founding team brings together decades of expertise in philanthropic advising, fundraising, and cutting-edge technology.

Our goal is to streamline the deployment of vital resources to organizations delivering front-line services, running transformative programs, and advancing the progress of society. We are bridging the gap between generosity and impact, fostering essential relationships that create lasting legacies.
Our Philosophy: Gratitude and Good
The name Mahalo means gratitude, and that is the foundation of our work. We understand the complexities of sophisticated wealth management and the deep, personal desire to give back.
We combine deep industry expertise with intelligent matching tools to ensure donors can confidently support the causes that matter most, viewing their giving as a powerful, integrated component of their overall wealth strategy.
Our Founder's Story
Kaili Purviance, Founder
Kaili Purviance has spent over two decades helping individuals and families navigate retirement planning, investment strategies, and charitable giving. As a Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAP®), he saw firsthand two major issues:
- Donors struggled to efficiently find truly impactful organizations that aligned with their unique values and financial goals.
- High-impact nonprofits struggled to get in front of the strategic capital they desperately needed.
Mahalo was born out of Kaili’s belief that the process should be meaningful and efficient. With our smart platform that focuses on advanced analytics and intelligent matching, Mahalo connects donors with vetted nonprofits that fit their unique interests—whether they’re focused on local community work, global initiatives, or specific cause areas.
