About the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation
The Hawaiʻi Community Foundation (HCF) is one of the oldest community foundations in the country, established in 1916. HCF manages a repository of more than 800 charitable funds that have been set up by generous individuals, families, and businesses across the state to benefit the people of Hawaiʻi. These funds reflect the charitable grantmaking interests of their donors and can vary from unrestricted grants to those for very specific areas such as scholarships or a geographical region. HCF distributes these charitable funds through a variety of grant programs. HCF also supports the advancement of knowledge, understanding, and effectiveness in the nonprofit sector by providing training opportunities and disseminating information through workshops, events, learning communities, studies, publications, and online resources.
