Its community-investment program supports nonprofit organizations working to strengthen health care in local communities and improve well-being, with funding focused on programs and events that align with its strategic initiatives.
Recipients listed in its 2025 grants include the University of Hawai‘i Foundation, whose stated mission is to raise philanthropic support and manage investments for the benefit of the University of Hawai‘i and the people of Hawai‘i; and the Hawai‘i Cancer Consortium, which says it conducts and encourages cancer research and related training. Other recipients include Mauliola Keehi, whose stated mission centers on transformative healing and community well-being; and the Girl Scouts of Hawai‘i, whose mission is to help girls develop their potential through group experience.
