Women’s Fund of Hawaii strives to positively impact the lives of Hawaii’s underserved women and girls by partnering with qualifying 501(c)3 organizations. Partnerships involve a grant investment of up to $10,000 in new or existing innovative programs for women and girls. The Fund will make grants to organizations or programs that:

  • Help the most vulnerable women and girls realize their potential;
  • Promote women’s financial security and girls’ strengths and leadership;
  • Address the factors that stand the way of women’s success, including violence, adolescent pregnancy, low self-esteem, physical and mental health problems, substance abuse, prostitution, incarceration, immigrant status, homophobia, inadequate childcare, sports inequities, reproductive rights, poverty, disabilities and racism; and
  • Build on the gifts, strengths and assets of women and girls and promote their well-being.

The Fund is deeply grateful to the many generous donors and supporters who make the annual grants program possible and to Elizabeth Rice Grossman, whose lead gift of $100,000 in honor of her mother, Marilie Rice McMullen, established WFH’s permanent endowment, a sustainable funding source.
