Announcement

Aloha-

Mahalo for your support and commitment to Women’s Fund of Hawaii in our mission to support innovative, grassroots programs that empower women and girls statewide.

In response to the devastating wildfires across the island, Women’s Fund of Hawai’i has mobilized an emergency fund for those affected. You can join us in helping those affected here.

We continue to be a strong partner in the work to ensure all women and girls in HI thrive and are excited about the great work ahead for the organization this year.

Mahalo,
