Who We Help Donors of All Sizes We customize your plan by helping to find the right conduit for your giving, and connect your interests with reputable charities. This can include donating to a fund that focuses on a specific geographic area or cause, joining together with multiple funders to sponsor a specific initiative or program, or creating a charitable fund for your personal giving goals.

Professional Advisors As a resource for estate planning attorneys, accountants, and financial advisors, we work with you to find charitable solutions for your clients. According to numerous surveys, clients want their advisors to be more proactive in helping them plan their philanthropy. You will help your clients to achieve their financial goals, make tax-wise decisions, and benefit the causes they care about.

Planned Giving Your legacy can reflect what is most important and meaningful to you and serve as an inspiration to your loved ones and your community. We can help you support a specific area or favorite charity in perpetuity by establishing a planned legacy gift through your will or trust.

Consider what you want your legacy to be, while keeping in mind what you value now. Then, create a legacy gift to have a long-lasting impact.

Who We Are The Hawai‘i Community Foundation is one of the largest and oldest community foundations in the nation. Formed in 1916, we engage over 1,000 donors and clients from Hawai‘i’s communities, businesses, nonprofits, and government. We provide cost-effective stewardship for more than 700 funds and over $570 million in assets. We are truly a statewide, collaborative partnership distributing approximately $45 million annually to benefit every island community.

Private Foundations We provide administrative, financial, and grantmaking services for individual, family, and company foundations. HCF can create efficiencies, saving your organization money while carrying on the good work of the foundation and upholding its reputation. With HCF handling a myriad of services, you can just direct and enjoy giving to the community.

To help solve critical issues in our community, we share our knowledge and experience, and bring together people and organizations. The Hawai‘i Community Foundation is a catalyst for creating a better Hawai‘i.

We amplify the power of giving.

Businesses We work with businesses that see charitable giving as both a way to give back and as a vehicle for achieving their own goals. Whether it is setting up a scholarship fund for employees and their families or giving to community organizations, businesses have many options for how they can make an impact. HCF can guide business leaders or employee advisory committees that engage workers in choosing charitable opportunities that best align with the organizations’ values.

WHAT YOU CAN GIVE Your charitable gift can take on a variety of forms depending on what makes the most sense for your particular situation.

Possibilities include: • Cash • Appreciated Securities • Real and Personal Property • Bequest and Retirement Plans • Life Insurance

Connecting for Success students benefit from a program funded by 15 partners, including the Kosasa Family Fund.
