About Alohacare
Alohacare’s recent grantmaking is defined by quality-improvement and pay-for-performance payments to Hawaii health providers, with Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center receiving $267,378 in 2023 and $249,438 in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that supports delivery systems as well as community-facing health work. Alongside those provider incentives, Alohacare also awarded $100,000 to Hawaii Public Health Institute in 2024 and $97,000 to Waimanalo Health Center in 2025, showing support for both system-level and local access efforts. The foundation’s stated mission centers on improving the health of Hawaii’s communities and serving people in the spirit of aloha, with a focus on underserved people with specific health needs. Its grant history reflects that mission in practice: the same network of clinics and health centers appears repeatedly across multiple years, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. The mix of quality incentives, access-to-care grants, sponsorships, and donations shows a funding approach tied closely to Hawaii health infrastructure and community health priorities.
What Alohacare Funds
Alohacare’s health-care funding is most visible in payments to clinics and medical groups tied to quality programs. Maui Medical Group Inc received $112,014 in 2025 for a 2023 P4P payout and $110,610 in 2023 for a 2021 quality incentive, while Queens Mssp Aco LLC received $132,789 in 2023 for a 2021 QI incentive and $108,250 in 2024 for a 2022 P4P quality incentive. Access to care is another clear thread. The foundation gave $80,000 to Healthy Mothers Health Babies Coalition of Hawaii in 2023 for an access to care grant and $50,900 to Waikiki Health in 2023 for a 2022 access to care grant. Community support also appears through sponsorships, including $50,000 to Project Vision Hawaii in 2024. These awards show a portfolio that includes clinical performance, service access, and community-based health programming.
How Alohacare Gives
Alohacare’s typical grant size is modest relative to its larger incentive payments: the 25th percentile is $9,226, the median is $15,000, and the 75th percentile is $25,540. At the same time, the recent record includes much larger quality-related awards, indicating a split between routine grants and performance-based payouts. The same grantees recur across years, including Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center, Maui Medical Group Inc, Queens Mssp Aco LLC, and Kokua Kalihi Valley, which points to continuing relationships. The foundation is also set up to fund scholarships and community sponsorships, and both active programs accept unsolicited requests.
