Giving Approach

Distributed, rapid-response giving: many small-to-moderate one-off grants (roughly $3,000) to numerous individual recipients concentrated around a single disaster event; limited multi-year or institutional commitments evident.

About Hawaii Realtors Charitable Foundation

Hawaii Realtors Charitable Foundation’s most visible recent work is a stream of $3,000 disaster-relief grants to individuals across Maui, especially people in Lahaina, Wailuku, Kihei, and Haiku recovering from the Maui–Lahaina wildfires. The foundation’s recent giving is built around direct cash assistance rather than institutional program support, and it has also funded community partners tied to food security, housing assistance, and disaster relief in Hawai‘i. That pattern points to a local relief fund with a practical, short-term purpose: helping residents cover immediate recovery needs after disruption. The recent grant list shows repeated individual awards to people such as Mary Helen Caprice Mallet in Lahaina and Jeffrey Rosett in Haiku, both described as receiving Maui Lahaina disaster relief grants to individuals. Other awards went to recipients in Wailuku, Kihei, and other Maui locations, reinforcing the foundation’s close focus on local, place-based recovery. Although the foundation’s annual grants are sizable, the typical award in the recent record stays modest, matching an emergency-assistance model built for many small payments rather than a few large ones.

What Hawaii Realtors Charitable Foundation Funds

In disaster relief, the foundation repeatedly funds individual recovery grants tied to the Maui–Lahaina fires. One example is $3,000 to Ue Ha in Lahaina, described as a Maui Lahaina disaster relief grant to individuals. Housing and basic stability also appear in the foundation’s active program language, which says it supports community partners working to provide housing assistance and to eliminate food insecurity in Hawai‘i. That broader framing helps explain why the foundation’s grants are aimed at immediate needs after displacement or loss. The recent record also shows support for residents in multiple Maui towns, not just Lahaina. Awards to Jose Paulo Lat in Wailuku and Josh Wyant in Kihei indicate a countywide relief footprint within Maui. The foundation’s support for food security, housing assistance, and disaster relief is geographic as well as practical: it is centered on Hawai‘i and oriented toward short-term community recovery.

How Hawaii Realtors Charitable Foundation Gives

Recent grants cluster tightly around a small-dollar model: the 25th percentile is $2,000, the median is $2,614, and the 75th percentile is $3,000. In the recent list, many awards land at the $3,000 ceiling shown in that distribution. The record also suggests repeated support over multiple years, with grants appearing in both 2024 and 2025. The foundation funds individuals, and the active program description identifies it as a 501(c)(3) that provides financial support and resources to community partners. It does not accept unsolicited applications.
