Hawai'i's Most Charitable Companies 2023

Hawaii Business

Jump to a section in the list:

A-C | D-G | H-I | J-L | M-R | S-Z

------------

Nonprofits help Hawai'i thrive, but they couldn't do their crucial work without generous donations of time and money. That's where Hawai'i's private businesses and philanthropic institutions come in, contributing year after year.

The 80 companies and charitable organizations on this year's Most Charitable Companies list gave nearly $241 million and 73,768 volunteer hours in 2022. The money, time and effort help sustain an array of groups working to improve health care, housing, education, food security and community farming, the environment, animal welfare and other vital areas.

Every summer we survey companies and nonprofits to gather information on the previous year's cash and in-kind donations, as well as employees' volunteer hours during work time or through company-sponsored events.

The top five givers on the list this year are all charitable organizations with wide-ranging missions to help Hawai'i's people: Hawai'i Community Foundation, UH Foundation, Kamehameha Schools, Aloha United Way, and The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation. Two of these givers, the UH Foundation and Aloha United Way, were also top receivers of donations from companies on the list, with 26 naming Aloha United Way or United Way branches on the Neighbor Islands as a primary recipient, and 22 naming the UH Foundation or specific university programs.

Among for-profit companies, First Hawaiian Bank was the top charitable giver in 2022, donating $6.3 million and 11,264 volunteer hours. Rounding out the top five among for-profit companies are Matson, Bank of Hawai'i, Hawai'i Foodservice Alliance and Hawaiian Electric Industries.

Congratulations to these organizations, and all the others on this list, for their generosity and hard work.

Most Charitable Spotlight

Members of the Kupu 'Āina Corps help the nonprofit Kauluakalana plant kalo at the 25-acre Manu site in Kailua, O'ahu. It's the first time the land has been cultivated in more than a century. Since starting up in 2007, Kupu Hawaii participants have logged about 3 million hours of service, planted more than 1.5 million native specimens and removed 151,000 acres of invasive species. The organization has trained about 5,700 young people for jobs in conservation, sustainability, the culinary arts and environmental education. Four companies on this year's list – Alaska Airlines, American Savings Bank, Finance Factors and Par Hawaii – named Kupu Hawaii as a primary beneficiary of their giving in 2022.

Most Charitable Spotlight

A young participant of the Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii's after-school programs shows the Native Hawaiian cordage techniques she mastered and tested for strength. Every year at the nonprofit's nine clubhouses on O'ahu and Kaua'i, thousands of young people engage in art, activities and sports, while also getting homework help and healthy food. The programs fill the gap between the school day ending and parents returning home – a vulnerable time when many children and teens, particularly those from low-income working families, are left on their own. The nonprofit was named as a primary recipient of charitable giving by Hawaii State Federal Credit Union, Hilton Grand Vacations, Locations, Servco Pacific and Waikiki Health.

Thirteen donors on the Most Charitable Companies list named Hawai'i Foodbank as one of their top recipients: Aloha United Way, AlohaCare, Bank of Hawai'i, Blood Bank of Hawaii, Bowers + Kubota Consulting, Corteva Agriscience, G70, Hawaii Foodservice Alliance, Hawaiian Airlines, Hawaiian Host Group, Matson, University of Hawai'i and Young Brothers.
