Description:
The Hawai`i Community Foundation is a public, statewide, charitable services and grantmaking organization supported by donor contributions for the benefit of Hawaii's people.

We are an information resource about philanthropy, civic leadership and the issues affecting the nonprofit sector. As an advocate for the nonprofit sector, we seek to inspire the spirit of giving throughout every island community by providing outstanding support and services to our donors, volunteers, other nonprofit agencies, grantseekers and the community.

We achieve this by:

• Helping people articulate their dream of making a difference and finding the best vehicle to achieve that by designing and implementing their charitable giving plan
• Facilitating and supporting the great works of the nonprofit sector through strategic grantmaking and other nonprofit assistance
• Serving as a resource on community issues and trends
• Contributing to the entire community through grantmaking, promoting the nonprofit sector and acting as a civil leader - both on a local and statewide levels
• Acting as stewards for the community by managing donor funds
• Bringing diverse groups of people together for the common good
• Providing management services for Private Foundations
• Mobilizing statewide relief funds in the event of natural and human disaster, such as the September 11th Fund and Hurricane Iniki Fund.
