Mission & Focus Areas
Hawaiʻi Pacific Health states its mission as “to create a healthier Hawaiʻi” and its vision as “to be the leader in healthcare transformation.” Its website describes an approach centered on coordinated, patient-centered care, including prevention, early intervention, and ongoing care.
The organization reports that its place-based investments address social and economic conditions that shape health, including affordable housing, sustainable food systems, and economic empowerment. Since 2023, it says it has invested $8.5 million in local community impact loan funds supporting those areas.
The 2025 filing lists donations to 501(c)(3) organizations reviewed and approved by Hawaiʻi Pacific Health’s Donations Committee on behalf of its supported organizations. Examples of grantees’ stated missions illustrate the range of recipients: the Healthcare Association of Hawaiʻi says it advocates for a comprehensive, financially strong healthcare system; Aloha United Way says it advances health, education, and financial stability; and Child and Family Service says its primary purpose is strengthening families in Hawaiʻi.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, Hawaiʻi Pacific Health reported 28 grants totaling $636,650. Grant amounts ranged from $5,500 to $85,000, with a median of $15,000. The largest listed grants were $85,000 to the Healthcare Association of Hawaiʻi, $71,150 to the University of Hawaiʻi, $65,000 to the American Heart Association, $41,000 to UH Foundation, and $40,000 to Aloha United Way.

The filing reports that 86% of 2025 grant dollars went to recipients in Hawaiʻi, 10% to Iowa, and 4% to Oklahoma.
The Foundations of Hawaiʻi Pacific Health also invite community groups to organize fundraisers benefiting its medical centers. Community fundraisers must submit an application before using the medical centers’ names or logos. Fundraising materials must identify the hospital benefiting from the event. Organizations planning to approach businesses for sponsorship, in-kind gifts, or promotion are asked to provide a list of prospective contacts before soliciting on the Foundations’ behalf. These are fundraising guidelines, not an application process for grants.
