The World Tourism Network announced its endorsement of the Maui Strong Fund by the Hawaii Community Foundation as a good option for the world tourism industry to extend a hand and some Aloha to the people of Maui.
The Maui Strong Fund is providing resources that can be deployed quickly, with a focus on rapid response and recovery from the devastating wildfires that are still taking place on Maui.
HCF is a steward of more than 1,050 funds, including over 300 scholarship funds, created by donors who desire to transform lives and improve communities. In 2021, HCF distributed $100 million in grants to the community from funds at HCF, contracts, and private foundations statewide, including $7.1 million in scholarships.
HCF is working in close collaboration with state and county leaders, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and philanthropists to get a clear understanding of the quickly evolving priorities in our community.
HCF will prioritize nonprofit organizations that are supporting community-based rapid response and recovery efforts.
Funding will support evolving needs, including shelter, food, financial assistance, and other services as identified by our partners doing critical work on Maui.
