Prisanlee Trust directs its entire recorded grantmaking to the Hawaii Community Foundation as unrestricted, discretionary support. The foundation appears to pursue a place-based strategy focused on enabling local philanthropy in Hawaii by channeling funds through the community foundation rather than funding operating programs or specific nonprofits directly.
Highly concentrated: all giving flows to a single intermediary (Hawaii Community Foundation) across multiple grants, providing large, flexible/general-purpose support rather than issue-specific grants.
Prisanlee Trust’s recorded giving is built around one intermediary: the Hawaii Community Foundation in Honolulu. Every recent grant listed goes to that recipient, and the purposes attached to those awards point to unrestricted, discretionary, and benefit-designated support rather than project-specific funding. The pattern suggests a funder using the community foundation to direct resources into Hawaii’s nonprofit ecosystem through flexible channels. The largest recent grant on file is $837,180 in 2025 to the Hawaii Community Foundation for PRISANLEE FUND-BENEFIT. Another 2025 grant of $746,000 went to the same recipient with the same purpose, continuing a run of high-dollar support to the same organization. A 2024 grant of $745,037 also carried the PRISANLEE FUND-BENEFIT designation, showing a consistent benefit-oriented structure in the trust’s grantmaking. Across the file, the trust appears to favor general support over restricted program awards. The presence of discretionary general fund and unrestricted labels indicates flexibility for the recipient to allocate funds across community needs in Hawaii.
A defining feature of Prisanlee Trust’s grantmaking is its use of unrestricted and discretionary support. In 2023, it gave $594,220 to the Hawaii Community Foundation for the discretionary general fund, unrestricted, a direct example of flexible funding. The trust also supports benefit-designated giving. Its $219,780 grant in 2023 was marked for PRISANLEE FUND, BENEFIT DESIGNATED CHARITIES, showing a channel for designated charitable support through the community foundation. General charitable support appears alongside those unrestricted awards. A 2024 grant of $166,323 to the Hawaii Community Foundation was labeled discretionary general fund, reinforcing the trust’s emphasis on broad-use resources rather than narrowly scoped projects. The recurring recipient and repeated use of fund-level purposes point to a structure centered on local philanthropy in Hawaii through a community foundation intermediary.
Prisanlee Trust’s typical grant size is large: the 25th percentile is $219,780, the median is $594,220, and the 75th percentile is $745,037. The recent record is concentrated in a single recipient, with multiple grants to the Hawaii Community Foundation appearing in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That repeated pattern suggests ongoing support rather than isolated one-time awards. The trust is not reported to fund individuals or make program-related investments.
