BUILDING A FRAMEWORK FOR CHANGE Hawai‘i is a place known not only for its beauty but also for its soul. Compassion for each other and caring for our resources make up part of our cultural DNA. So when essential elements of our island home are not working well for everyone, we are driven to bring people and resources together to solve our most critical problems.

Hawai‘i Community Foundation is committed to creating a thriving Hawai‘i for all and for always.

Nowhere has this commitment been more apparent than during this time of crisis on Kaua‘i following the devastating flood damage and on Hawai‘i Island as Kīlauea volcano continues to erupt. Through the generosity of our donors, HCF is quickly distributing grants and mobilizing resources to help our islands stabilize and recover.

Whether building or rebuilding, community is why we exist. HCF’s CHANGE Framework zeroes in on six essential areas where there are opportunities for change that will create the the healthy and sustainable Hawai‘i we all want to live in.

Our vision for a better Hawai‘i—where keiki are healthy, kūpuna are cared for, and families are self-sufficient—is more than something we are wishing for; it’s something we are planning for.

And we’re already seeing progress. In this annual report, you’ll learn more about the strategies developed and impact made in the CHANGE areas. You’ll also read stories about people and places that have changed for the better because of individuals, like you, that stepped forward to help level the playing field and provide help where it would make the most difference. We thank you for joining the Hawai‘i Community Foundation on this journey.

Together, we can transform our collective vision for a thriving Hawai‘i into a wonderful reality.

MICAH A. KĀNE CEO & President

DEBORAH K. BERGER Board Chair

Following the devastating flood damage on Kaua‘i and the volcano eruption on Hawai‘i Island, HCF and its donors came together to establish the

KAUA‘I RELIEF AND RECOVERY FUND and the

HAWAI‘I ISLAND VOLCANO RECOVERY FUND. Generous individuals and businesses continue to contribute to these funds and HCF is working with its staff on each island to quickly deploy grants to help our islands heal.

CAFÉ 100 SAVED OUR LIVES – Gloria Kobayashi, Café 100, Hilo

FE E DING OUR COMMUNIT Y As a member of the 100th Battalion during World War II, Richard Miyashiro fought alongside other Hawai‘i-born Japanese-American young men who had to prove their loyalty as Americans.

S T O R I E S O F C H A N G E | 2 0 18 A N N U A L R E P O R T

Their perseverance and pride were later tested when a tsunami hit Hilo in 1946, damaging the diner Mr. Miyashiro opened only three months earlier, and again in 1960 when a tsunami demolished his second restaurant 21 days after it opened.

Thirteen-years old at the time, Gloria Kobayashi, eldest of the three Miyashiro sisters, said, “Café 100 saved our lives,” explaining that the force of the wave hitting the restaurant probably spared the family house behind it.

“Where many would have stopped there,” Gloria says of her dad, “my father persisted.”

Two years later in 1962, he built the third incarnation of Café 100 on Kīlauea Avenue, where people continue to flock for its Loco Moco™.

When their parents died, daughters Gloria, Kay, and Gail wanted to honor them. They turned to HCF because of its strong reputation and relationship with the East Hawai‘i Fund. So they established the Richard & Evelyn Miyashiro Fund to continue to support organizations in their community including The Food Basket, Hawai‘i Island’s Food Bank. “Grants from community members are critically important to us,” said Kristin Frost Albrecht, Executive Director.

“Here’s a family that’s been feeding Hilo’s community for decades and is now feeding us through its philanthropy.”

BY ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSES OF CHILDREN’S BEHAVIORS, WE CAN PROVIDE INDIVIDUALIZED CARE THAT IS CHILD-CENTERED AND FAMILY-FOCUSED – Ryan Lee, M.D., Milestones founder

IMPROV ING C A R E FOR OUR CHILDR E N When the doors to the Milestones clinic opened in March 2018, it was the culmination of years of research and planning by a group of people who recognized that too many young children in Hawai‘i with developmental needs were falling through the cracks of a broken system.

Hawai‘i Community Foundation learned about the work being done on Hawai‘i Island (by Dr. Ira Chasnoff) on the effects of prenatal exposure to drugs and alcohol on child development. “When we discovered that there was a critical gap in correctly diagnosing and treating keiki who are suffering the consequences of early exposure,” said Chris van Bergeijk, HCF Senior Vice President of Strategies, Initiatives & Networks, “we felt compelled to respond.”

That response was two-pronged: HCF recruited a group of funders to support the planning and design of HCF’s Children’s Behavioral Health Initiative and then convened leaders from different sectors— medical, child welfare, early education, health insurance, and family court—to study the issue for two years. “Collective wisdom is what’s called for with an issue as important and multifaceted as children’s behavioral health,” said Virginia Pressler, M.D. Director of Health, Hawai‘i State Department of Health.

The upshot of these efforts is Milestones, a center of excellence for child development directed

by Ryan Lee, M.D. with a transdisciplinary team of physicians and therapists. “By addressing the root causes of children’s behaviors, we can provide individualized care that is childcentered and family-focused,” said Dr. Lee. Operations of the new nonprofit are supported by a set of funders who, like the families being served, are deeply grateful it exists.

Artists in the Schools In partnership with the Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, the Artists in the Schools program provides funding for arts residencies in Hawai‘i’s public and charter schools by qualified teaching artists and nonprofit arts organizations. The residencies engage students deeply in the artistic process of creating, performing, exhibiting, sharing, and responding to art.

Since 2008, HCF awarded

$2.3M+

to support art residencies in schools throughout the state

Laila Art Fund – Artists in Residence Program Continuing the legacy of Laila Twigg-Smith, this fund supports arts organizations statewide to bring recognized, outstanding artists to Hawai‘i for long-term residencies that actively engage Hawai‘ibased artists and the greater community. The fund also provides scholarships for local artists to attend art schools.

$650,000+ has been awarded to local arts organizations to provide artists-in-residence programs since 2005

PART OF WHO WE ARE NOW AS A COMMUNITY INCLUDES WHO WE ONCE WERE – Effie Cameron Ort, Fred Baldwin Memorial Foundation Trustee

PE R PE TUATING OUR HE R ITAGE The charming town of Makawao, located in Upcountry Maui, has one foot in its paniolo past and another in its present, lively arts scene. Sitting at the crossroads of both is the Makawao History Museum, which is run by a group of dedicated volunteers who love making the history of Makawao come alive for residents and visitors from around the world.

S T O R I E S O F C H A N G E | 2 0 18 A N N U A L R E P O R T

When the museum set out to record the stories of kūpuna from Makawao, trustees of the Fred Baldwin Memorial Foundation immediately recognized the project’s value.

“Preserving the stories and wisdom of these elders is a wonderful way to engage people in the history and cultural heritage of our community,” – Kristina Lyons Lambert, Makawao local & Fred Baldwin Memorial Foundation Trustee To Museum Board President Mary Orwig, the timing was crucial. “The need to record the stories of those who can still narrate them firsthand is urgent.” Interviews conducted thus far tell stories about cowboys, immigrants coming to work on plantations, the local USO Club serving over 50,000 military, and the transformation of kūpuna homes into shops that now make up Makawao’s main street.

“Watching the change has been both exciting and poignant,” reflects Effie Ort, fellow trustee of the Fred Baldwin Memorial Foundation. “Part of who we now are as a community includes who we once were.”

WHEN YOU GIVE TO YOUR COMMUNITY, YOU ARE LIGHTING THE TORCH FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO DO THE SAME – Kathy Richardson

PROTEC TING OUR R E SOURCE S Kaua‘i native Kathy Richardson grew up spending time on her grandmother Juliet Rice Wichman’s North Shore land, relishing the acres of trees and plants that were her playground.

Kathy stands next to an environmental sculpture made of sticks, branches, and vines created by Internationally known artist, Patrick Dougherty.

The land, now known as Limahuli Garden and Preserve, became one of three gardens on Kaua‘i and one of five total that comprise the National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG) network.

“My grandmother started me on this journey,” said Kathy Richardson, who has carried on the family’s tradition of support for the botanical garden by serving on the NTBG board for over 20 years. “She had a vision that we on Kaua‘i could help educate the world to enjoy and preserve nature.”

The gardens and preserves of the National Tropical Botanical Garden are safe havens for at-risk species that otherwise might disappear.

“The survival of plants is tied to our very own survival. That’s why a big part of NTBG’s conservation efforts is to educate people about the role of plants in providing food, oxygen, and medicine for humans and other species.”

– Kathy Richardson

It wasn’t just land that Kathy Richardson’s relatives passed on, it was also a passion for giving back to the community. “My commitment to the mission of the National Tropical Botanical Garden goes way beyond this moment in time,” she said. “When you give to your community, you are lighting the torch for future generations to do the same.”

IMAGINE HOW MUCH HAPPIER THE WORLD COULD BE IF ALL OUR CHILDREN GOT OFF TO A GREAT START – Suzanne Chun Oakland

S TR E NGTHE NING OUR BONDS In reflecting on the 25-year history of the Hawai‘i Children’s Trust Fund (HCTF), a public-private partnership between HCF and the Hawai‘i State Department of Health that retired Senator Suzanne Chun Oakland helped to launch, she said, “One of the best features about HCTF is the flexibility of its grants to let communities, who know their families best, decide how to use the funds for the greatest impact.”

S T O R I E S O F C H A N G E | 2 0 18 A N N U A L R E P O R T

Some of those funds now support the Parents as Teachers™ (PAT) program at the Institute for Native Pacific Education and Culture (INPEACE).

“By offering free home visiting services and resources, we’re empowering parents to become their children’s first and best teachers.”

– Nālani Galariada, INPEACE Program Director In the past six years, 549 families and 633 keiki received home visiting services in Hawai‘i from certified PAT educators. Parents report that the program increases their knowledge about child development and strengthens the bonds with their children. “I learn something new about my baby every visit,” said Tammy, a PAT program participant. “It relieves a lot of stress because I understand what my son is doing.”

Approaching families with respect, meeting them at whatever stage they’re at, and building strong relationships with parents, has earned praise from the national PAT program and good word-of-mouth in the local community. “One child, one family, one community at a time,” reflects Chun Oakland. “Imagine how much happier the world could be if all of our children got off to a great start.”

I MADE THE DECISION TO REGAIN MY LIFE – Ann Yoshida

E MPOWE R ING THROUGH E DUC ATION In 2000, Ann Yoshida was a passenger in a car crash that resulted in a spinal cord injury. Her journey to recovery wasn’t easy but, recalls Ann, “One step, one second at a time, I made the decision to regain my life.”

S T O R I E S O F C H A N G E | 2 0 18 A N N U A L R E P O R T

39

The life she has since created is a remarkable one by any measure. It took her two years to get back to school — ­ first finishing her bachelor’s, then her master’s, and ultimately her doctorate.

“I simply could not have done this without the scholarships I received,” said Ann, “including support from HCF that I am extremely grateful for.”

“Education is not a piece of paper. It’s empowerment: learning to trust your abilities, navigate the environment, and adapt to activities in the life you CAN LIVE.” – Ann Yoshida

As a doctor of occupational therapy, Ann helps to empower individuals who have physical, psychosocial, or cognitive challenges by teaching daily living skills and water movement therapy such as Watsu.

Her skills as a professional occupational therapist now enable Ann to help others, but it’s the way she is living her own life that inspires them to believe there are no limits.

Ann went back to being a water woman and competitor, from paddling to surfing and other water sports, which had long been a place of freedom and cultural connection for her.

“In the water, I was reborn to my original identity and free to make my own life,” said the three-time world champion and paracanoe/kayak paralympian.

Now clearly in the driver’s seat, Ann says, “When you focus on being normal, you exclude the possibility of being extraordinary. HCF has helped me to live my extraordinary life.”

Generous individuals, families, and businesses stand behind HCF’s 850 funds, each with a meaningful purpose and a deeply-held commitment to making Hawai‘i a better place for all

L EVERY ONE OF OUR DONORS HAS A REASON FOR GIVING The choice to make a difference through philanthropy is a reflection of the values and hopes that an individual holds dear. Who a person is informs how a person gives.

“My Living, My Giving” highlights just a few of the thousands of individuals we’re honored to partner with to make Hawai‘i a better place.

Beginning this year, a complete list of funds created by generous givers has been moved from this printed report to our website at HawaiiCommunityFoundation.org/MyLivingMyGiving. Doing so ensures that less is spent on production and more is spent on philanthropy.

LEGACY SOCIETY RON & IVY TIMPE

What inspires you? We are inspired by beauty in the natural world and by humankind’s achievements.

What brings you joy? Joy can be found in many places: The tenderness of love, a grandchild’s success, a puppy’s kisses, a great round of golf, the perfect cake.

What do you hope for Hawai‘i’s future?

Because our first hope is for Hawai‘i’s long-term viability, we support the actions being taken now to conserve water, become energy self-sufficient, and provide more of our own food.

People are surprised when they learn that a boy from Kansas and a girl from Brooklyn can live happily ever after.

Our favorite word is chocolate!

Ron & Ivy are HCF Legacy Society Members Legacy Gifts provide lasting support to communities and honors an individual’s passion for making a difference beyond his or her lifetime. Legacy Society Members choose to leave a gift to the community in their will or trust, creating a legacy for a particular cause for generations to come.

Hawai‘i has welcomed us with open arms. We, in turn, believe in giving back to the communities to which we have an affinity, and are grateful to HCF for helping us do that here.”

What inspires you? I consider life in general to be inspiring, whether spending time with good friends or working with good business partners; I strive to find the right balance and make it all enjoyable.

What brings you joy? My family.

What do you hope for Hawai‘i’s future?

I really hope that we can improve the public education system in Hawai‘i because having a broadly educated and motivated community will help solve a number of issues we currently face here.

What motivates you to give? My wife and I feel very blessed and really want to help make a difference to improve the lives of others.

People are surprised when they learn I have great grandparents buried here!

My great grandfather was a Big Island paniolo and sheriff, my grandfather was born in Honolulu, so coming to Hawai‘i in 1982 was an ancestral homecoming for me.

What do you hope for Hawai‘i’s future?

Our hope is that education would be a top priority and homelessness would be a thing of the past.

What motivates you to give? It’s part of our family’s culture to give back to our community.

What do you hope for Hawai‘i’s future?

The desire to help others rise up is what motivates me to give. You don’t need to be a multimillionaire to be able to do good and make some kind of impact in the community.

What brings you joy? Joy comes when people join together around an issue and those efforts conclude in a positive result.

What do you hope for Hawai‘i’s future?

I am very concerned that Hawai‘i’s special qualities are eroding—the air, water, infrastructure, ‘āina, and acceptance of people from different backgrounds—and hope we can rekindle these.

What motivates you to give? I was brought up to share. My parents used to say, “Money is like manure; you have to spread it around to make things grow.”

People are surprised when they learn I sing.

My favorite word is integrity.

What motivates you to give? As CEO of the Stupski Foundation, I am carrying out the vision of Joyce and Larry Stupski in their support for Hawai‘i and their determination to encourage others.

People are surprised when they learn I was an AM talk show host during morning and afternoon drive in the Boulder/Denver market … not a common entry on a foundation leader’s resume.

Glen, on behalf of the Stupski Foundation, provides support to improve the lives of people in Hawai‘i and the San Francisco Bay area.

Funding Partnerships pool resources including knowledge, funds, and connections to enable diverse groups of people with shared goals to make a larger impact than any one of them could do alone.
