Giving Back is Second Nature in the Aloha State

Aid from the community helps keep people fed, lifts them out of poverty and gives young people a better chance for a brighter future.

Each year, we survey companies and nonprofits to quantify that generosity. This time, 78 reported their figures for 2021: In total, $217.3 million was contributed in cash and in-kind donations, as well as $3.3 million in employee donations and 78,692 volunteer hours.

The dollar figure is more than double the previous year’s, thanks to the inclusion of the state’s largest philanthropic organizations: Hawai‘i Community Foundation, the UH Foundation and Kamehameha Schools.

Each receives hefty amounts of donations and investment dollars, then funnels them back into the community in the form of grants, scholarships and investments. They, along with the Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation, were the top four givers on the 2022 Most Charitable Companies list.

Among for-profit companies, Hawaiian Electric Industries took the top spot with $5 million in cash and in-kind donations, followed by First Hawaiian Bank, Hawaii Dental Service, Matson, Kaiser Permanente and Hawai‘i Foodservice Alliance.

While these top 10 givers played an outsized role, many other generous companies and nonprofits made an impact in strengthening Hawai‘i’s food security, health outcomes, educational opportunities, environment, culture and quality of life.

Funding Community Health Initiatives

As a health care plan dedicated to Medicaid and Medicare recipients, AlohaCare is invested in bolstering community health and the safety net.

That means funding community-based initiatives. Imua Loa, a onestop site for sharing information about AlohaCare’s grants, scholarships and sponsorships, will make it easier.

“There are so many organizations that have a lot to offer but may not have all the resources needed to implement their idea,” says CEO Francoise Culley-Trotman.

AlohaCare funds a range of projects, including a tobacco cessation program on Moloka‘i organized with the local American Lung Association, and the Wai‘anae Coast Comprehensive Health Center’s ‘Ewa clinic, for which it provided $75,000 for a telehealth specialist.

Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies Coalition of Hawai‘i was awarded $35,000 to retrofit a former 22-foot tourism van into the Mana Mama Mobile Clinic. The clinic reaches vulnerable populations for prenatal and postpartum visits, infant checks and other vital services.

“Our goal is to reduce health disparities and contribute to health equity across populations, generations and geography,” says Culley-Trotman.

Helping to feed Hawai’i

Hfa Truck

HFA donated a truck to the Food Basket on Hawai‘i Island in 2021.

The Hawai‘i Foodservice Alliance doesn’t just warehouse and distribute perishable foods to stores. The company also pulls products near the end of their shelf life and donates them to Hawai‘i Foodbank on O‘ahu and Kaua‘i, the Food Basket on Hawai‘i Island and Maui Food Bank. Most items are bread, milk and eggs.

“The program began when we were a startup and has grown to millions of dollars annually in donated food to those in need,” says HFA owner and CEO Chad Buck.

At the start of the pandemic, Buck says, HFA led the first mass food distribution event at Ala Moana Center. Buck says the cars stretched for two miles. Afterward, Hawai‘i Foodbank asked HFA to be the distributor for events through 2021.

HFA also partnered with Kaukau 4 Keiki, a USDA child nutrition program devoted to feeding kids during summer break. The company donated logistics and trucking to help distribute food across the Islands.

And employees are included in the company’s largess. Every week, HFA staff can take home two gallons of milk, two loaves of bread and two dozen eggs.

Volunteerism is Encouraged and Compensated

Hawaiian Telcom’s Mālama Hours program lets full-time employees spend 40 work hours each year doing volunteer activities.

Not only is it good for the community, says Senior Manager Ann Nishida, but it’s also a powerful retention tool: People get to choose the activities they want to support and do them on regular workdays.

In addition, the company hosts an annual Day in the Community. Held during the workweek, employees sign up for a planned activity, such as cleaning beaches, sorting and packing meals for delivery, or caring for animals.

To support education and digital equity, Hawaiian Telcom donates high-speed internet to schools and organizations. In 2021, the company brought access to the public charter school DreamHouse ‘Ewa Beach. This year, it donated upgrades to ‘Iolani Palace, enabling it to livestream educational webinars.

Hawaiian Telcom also partnered with Windward Community College to offer six-week paid internships to Native Hawaiian students in information security, network engineering, data center management and other areas.

Kualoa Ranch

Kualoa Ranch donated the use of land for K‘a‘a‘awa Elementary’s garden project.

Preserving the Land for Future Generations

The success of Kualoa Ranch’s 4,000-acre tourism, farming and cattle operation depends on being good stewards of the land.

“We know that we are just temporary custodians of our land, and we know that we must care for it and help our local communities so the next generations will thrive,” says President John Morgan, a sixth-generation member of the family-owned company.

In 2021, the ranch removed more than 400 invasive albizia trees and 900 mule’s foot ferns from the vast property, planted 2,739 native plants and maintained a greenhouse with 3,000 native plants.

More than 4,000 pounds of ranch-grown produce and meat were donated to community and animal rescue groups, and 60,000 bottles were recycled to help fund college scholarships.

Kualoa Ranch’s education efforts go deeper as well, as it hosts thousands of students each year and partners with select schools. For example, a plot of land was donated to Ka‘a‘awa Elementary School to use for its farm program.

The ranch also donates its facilities to the Hawai‘i High School Rodeo Association and other organizations.

In addition to the ranch’s efforts, the Kualoa Ranch Foundation operates as a separate entity devoted solely to charitable giving.

Here are the first six students in the Kaua‘i Medical Training Track, which is funded by a $10 million gift from Dr. Priscilla Chan and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Expanding Access to Education

Last fiscal year, the UH Foundation set a record for new cash gifts and commitments: $165 million, up 65% from the previous year. Many of the donations were from companies on the Most Charitable list that named UH and the UH Foundation as the top recipient in their charitable giving.

Among a total of 22,436 gifts were:

  • $50 million for ocean research.
  • $1 million from HMSA to UHERO.
  • $3.7 million for the Residences for Innovative Student Entrepreneurs, opening in 2023.
  • The first scholarships for LGBTQ+ students.
  • Medical school scholarships from Hawai‘i Pacific Health, Kaiser Permanente, and Dr. Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg.

The latter donated $10 million for the Kaua‘i Medical Training Track, which pays tuition, housing and transportation for six John A. Burns School of Medicine students with ties to the island and an interest in rural health.

“A strong public university is the key to a vibrant future,” says Tim Dolan, the foundation’s CEO. “We are honored to partner with people who want to directly invest in the health and wellness of Hawai‘i’s people.”
