Zuckerberg and Chan spent more than $170 million buying up Kauai acreage — a land grab that has been well documented in the national media. In an attempt to ingratiate themselves to their new home after a bumpy start to their Kauai residence, the pair has also poured millions of dollars into Kauai’s various nonprofit organizations through the Chan Zuckerberg Kauai Community Fund (CZKCF).
What’s resulted is a divided community: some are genuinely appreciative of the funding, some are skeptical and begrudgingly appreciative, and others say no amount of donations make up for buying a not-insignificant portion of the island.
