The Migita Foundation concentrates its modest grantmaking on local Hawaiian institutions, with a dominant emphasis on supporting a single healthcare-related beneficiary alongside general community and educational organizations. Most funding is unrestricted/charitable general support, and grants are directed to well-known Oʻahu institutions rather than national causes.
Concentrated and repeat-focused: a small number of grants with a large share (≈79%) going to one recurring grantee, plus a few single grants to prominent local institutions; primarily unrestricted/general support rather than project-specific funding.
Ronald K & Lella E Migita Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by repeated $25,000 grants to Pali Momi Foundation in 2023, 2024, and 2025, making hospital support the clearest thread in its record. Across the same period, the foundation also backed Honolulu-based institutions such as Hawaii Community Foundation and Punahou School, along with a small set of local charities and community organizations. Most of its grants are unrestricted or listed as charitable general support, which points to flexible support rather than narrowly restricted project funding. The pattern is consistently local and Hawaii-centered. Recipients include organizations in Honolulu, Pearl City, Kapolei, Kahului, and Makawao, with only occasional out-of-state giving. The foundation’s recent grants also show attention to education, religious organizations, senior services, meals assistance, and public-benefit charities. Within that mix, several organizations reappear across multiple years, suggesting a steady relationship-based approach to grantmaking rather than one-off awards. The foundation’s typical grant sizes range from small gifts of $150 to a median of $1,000 and a higher quartile of $2,500, while a few larger grants rise well above that pattern.
Health-related support is the most visible theme in the foundation’s recent grants. Pali Momi Foundation received $25,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Kuakini Foundation received $1,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, showing sustained support for healthcare institutions. Education is another recurring area. Punahou School received $10,000 in 2025, while Public Schools of Hawaii Foundation received $1,000 in 2023 and again in 2025. The foundation also gave $500 to Seaburry Hall in 2023. Community services and congregational support appear as well. Hawaii Meals on Wheels received $1,000 in 2025, Arcadia at Home received $3,000 in 2025 and $2,500 in 2024, and First Baptist Church of Pearl City received $5,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. These grants point to general charitable support across civic, faith-based, and senior-serving organizations.
Typical grant size is small: the p25 is $150, the median is $1,000, and the p75 is $2,500. That distribution fits a foundation with modest annual grantmaking of $134,100 and total assets of $71,453. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Pali Momi Foundation, First Baptist Church of Pearl City, Kamp Hawaii, Kuakini Foundation, Hale Makua Health Services, Arcadia at Home, Public Schools of Hawaii Foundation, Hawaii Speech League, and The 200 Club. The giving is done through a foundation rather than a donor-advised fund, and the grants are recorded as charitable general support or other broad charitable purposes.
