A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE
BIG PROMISE OF LITTLE THINGS CHANGE COMES FROM EVERYONE
The Season of Giving: A Legacy of Good Works
W
ith the holiday season upon us, we hope that you’ll give thought to those needs and causes most precious to you and join our philanthropic ‘ohana. Just as paddlers work in harmony to guide the canoe to safe harbor, Hawai‘i Community Foundation’s (HCF) funds, programs, and initiatives gather the resources of many to bring support and create positive change where it’s needed. During this time of giving, consider making a contribution to your favorite charity or choose to support one of the following causes:
On November 1, Hawai‘i’s nonprofits, fundraisers, donors, and community leaders will celebrate National Philanthropy Day, coming together to promote their shared commitment to philanthropic efforts across the state. Giving in our communities has long been a Hawai‘i tradition — caring for each other, our resources, our kupuna, our keiki, and our community. When we all do a little, and work together we can protect our most valuable assets for generations to come – that’s the big promise of little things.
