Who We Are

WaveWerk is a Hawaiʻi-based, federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, approved in 2025. We use games as an engagement tool to help fund and support real-world environmental action.

When people play our game, it helps generate support that WaveWerk directs toward verified environmental projects, including community cleanups, restoration efforts, and early pilot initiatives carried out with trusted partners. The game sparks engagement. The impact happens in the real world.

Our Mission

We use games as an engagement engine to support real-world environmental work. Gameplay helps fund and coordinate verified community cleanups, restoration efforts, and environmental pilot projects through trusted partners.

Our Vision

A future where digital play drives meaningful participation in environmental action, and communities, nonprofits, and partners work together to deliver measurable impact in the real world.
