About Aloha United Way

Bringing People and Resources Together to Strengthen Hawaiʻi

Aloha United Way believes that lasting change happens when communities come together.

For more than 100 years, we have worked alongside nonprofit organizations, businesses, government agencies, and community leaders to address Hawaiʻi's most pressing challenges. By bringing people and resources together around shared goals, we help create solutions that improve lives and strengthen communities across our state.

Our work extends beyond any single program or organization. We serve as a connector, collaborator, and catalyst for change, helping align community resources where they can make the greatest impact.

How We Create Impact

Our work is focused on three interconnected areas that help individuals, families, and communities thrive.

Thriving Communities

Strong communities begin with strong foundations. We support efforts that help families meet basic needs, access stable housing, improve food security, and build greater stability for the future.

Every family deserves a strong foundation.

Financial Stability

Too many hardworking families in Hawaiʻi struggle with the high cost of living. Through research, education, workforce development, and community partnerships, we help create pathways to economic security and opportunity.

Working families should not have to choose between necessities.

Community Resiliency

When challenges arise, people need to know where to turn. We help connect individuals and families to resources and support before, during, and after times of crisis, helping build stronger and more resilient communities.

Help should be easy to find.

Working Together for Hawaiʻi

No single organization can solve Hawaiʻi's challenges alone. Meaningful change requires collaboration, shared responsibility, and collective action.

That's why Aloha United Way brings together nonprofits, businesses, government partners, donors, volunteers, and community members to create solutions that support people today while building a stronger future for generations to come.

Together, we achieve what none of us can do alone.
