Hawaii-Pacific Foundation
Echelon is majority owned by the Hawaii Pacific Foundation (HPF). The mission of HPF is to empower Native Hawaiian communities by supporting programs that improve access to opportunities for success that principally serve Native Hawaiians.

They further their purpose by advancing education; primarily through science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education, and preserving cultural values and practices to inspire hope, strengthen families, foster learning, cultivate leadership, and develop stewardship.

Contracting With Echelon
As a Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO) owned 8(a), Echelon offers significant contracting efficiencies, defined by law and regulation, to help Department of Defense (DoD), Other Federal Agencies, and Industry Partners resolve urgent and dynamic requirements. Through our ability to receive sole-source contracts above the 8(a) ceiling, Echelon offers significant time and cost effectiveness to the government’s contracting process. Coupled with the ingenuity and agility associated with small firms, NHO 8(a)s, such as Echelon, have proven to be attractive vendors and business partners.
