Support HCF’s Top Priorities

Catalyst Fund

The HCF Catalyst Fund supports the operations of the Hawai‘i Community Foundation, allowing us to be responsive to community needs in ways that go well beyond traditional grant-making.

CHANGE Framework

Our goal with the CHANGE Framework is to tackle Hawaiʻi’s greatest challenges, grounded in the premise that, if we use common data, agree on shared goals, and take collective action, we can address the barriers that prevent Hawai’i’s people and places from thriving.

The Hawai‘i Resilience Fund

The Hawaiʻi Resilience Fund was created by the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation (HCF) in 2020 to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, distributing funds to meet the immediate and evolving needs of Hawaiʻi’s people. Now, in 2025, we’ve reactivated the Hawaiʻi Resilience Fund, for a new purpose.

Fresh Water Security for Hawai‘i

Be part of Wai Maoli: Hawai‘i Fresh Water Initiative and its goal of securing 100 million gallons a day of additional reliable fresh water supply by 2030 via clear solutions that have broad, multiparty support. Conserve, recharge, reuse.

House Maui Initiative
