Our Story
Overstory is a nonprofit solutions journalism initiative powered by The Kūpa‘a Network, a Hawai‘i-based nonprofit organization dedicated to using digital tools and platforms to drive meaningful change across the islands.
In ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, kūpa’a means steadfast, firm, constant, and unwavering—values that reflect our deep commitment to tackling Hawai‘i’s most pressing challenges.
Through Overstory, our journalism takes a solutions-focused approach to elevate stories that highlight not just the problems but the people and initiatives working toward real, lasting change. By leveraging technology, storytelling and community collaboration, we aim to inform, inspire and accelerate action for a more restorative and thriving Hawai‘i.

A Hawai‘i where every community member is informed and has the autonomy to create a positive and hopeful future.
Our Mission
We serve Hawai‘i’s people and places by exploring the systems and solutions behind our most pressing issues.
