Mission & Focus Areas
AlohaCare’s stated mission is to support individual wellness and promote community access to quality care in collaboration with community health centers and others. Its 2024 filing says it provides managed health care through Hawaiʻi’s Med-QUEST Division and through Medicare Advantage plans, and participates in and helps fund health-related activities to improve health in Hawaiʻi. The filing says quality incentive payments are based on criteria that include prevention or treatment of health-related issues, health care needs, and improving health in the Hawaiʻi community.
The Foundation supports community-based projects to improve access to quality health care for low-income and underserved populations. Its listed grant areas include education and outreach, transportation, telehealth, health care workforce development and training, mobile clinical care, nutrition security, and housing. Its charitable contributions prioritize organizations working to improve the health and well-being of Hawaiʻi’s underserved populations, including through attention to mental, physical, and spiritual health and social needs.
The 2024 recipients include community health centers and other providers. For example, Waimānalo Health Center describes its mission as providing primary and preventive services with special attention to Native Hawaiians and medically underserved people. Community Clinic of Maui says it provides culturally sensitive, coordinated primary care emphasizing education, prevention, and advocacy, regardless of ability to pay. Molokai Ohana Health Care describes its work as promoting accessible comprehensive health care for the people of Molokaʻi.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2024, AlohaCare reported 62 grants totaling $1,599,901. Grants ranged from $5,400 to $249,438, with a median of $15,500. The largest listed award was $249,438 to Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center for a “2023 P4P PAYOUT QI.” Other large awards included $112,014 to Maui Medical Group for a 2023 quality incentive payout, $97,000 to Waimānalo Health Center for a 2024 grant, and $66,408 to Kōkua Kalihi Valley for a 2023 quality incentive payout. Most grant dollars went to recipients in Hawaiʻi.
The Foundation’s grant application process calls for an online application and IRS W-9. Applications are reviewed for completeness; additional information or meetings may be requested. Selected applicants receive a decision by email, then execute a Letter of Agreement before funds are distributed. Grant proposals must describe project goals and timeline, target population, measurable outcomes and deliverables, project team, and organizational partners. Recipients must report outcomes at least annually. The Foundation says grant applications are accepted until funds are exhausted for the year.
