Shave Ice Fund

The "Shave Ice Fund" is the piggy bank that powers Share-HOPA-Forward.  The hope is for this Shave Ice Fund to be self-sustaining over the long-term through pay-it-forward activity.  However, SHF is an experiment, so only time will tell!  

Uncle Clay's House of Pure Aloha operates SHF completely as a non-profiting project.  Any and all funds we receive for SHF goes straight into the Shave Ice Fund.  Any costs incurred to host Sharing Days (shave ice, non-volunteering servers, equipment, and other direct expenses) are drawn from the Fund.

The Shave Ice Fund was initially funded by 72 founding Sharers through a crowdfunding campaign in Summer 2012.  For more info on the campaign, check out: http://www.indiegogo.com/shareHOPAforward
