Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation’s stated mission is to work with community partners toward eliminating food insecurity and/or providing housing to those in need. Its reported activity includes housing assistance for people displaced by the Maui wildfires and support for food banks across Hawai‘i.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2024, the foundation reported 568 grants totaling $1,326,493. Grant amounts ranged from $200 to $3,000, with a median of $2,500. The largest listed grants were $3,000 each and went to individuals for Maui Lahaina disaster relief.
The foundation stated that it distributed nearly $1.3 million in housing assistance for people displaced by the Maui wildfires. Applicants applied, and completed applications were reviewed in the order received and presented to the board. Approved applicants could receive one month’s mortgage or rent payment, or hotel reimbursement, up to $3,000. Homeowners without a mortgage could receive $1,500 with documentation of mortgage payoff. The application required general and property information, valid photo identification, documentation of a new rental agreement or living arrangement, mortgage statement or hotel receipts, and damage photos if available. Staff also checked the primary property address against Maui County tax assessment records.
The foundation’s website says the National Association of REALTORS®’ Relief Foundation awarded Hawai‘i REALTORS® $1.9 million in disaster relief aid for homeowners and renters whose primary residences were damaged or destroyed by the Maui wildfires. That award was funding received for relief, distinct from the foundation’s reported grant distributions.
