About Queen'S Medical Center
The Queen's Medical Center’s grantmaking is anchored by large support for the University of Hawaii Foundation, including $996,596 in 2024 and $887,500 in 2023 for general support. That pattern sits alongside a health-centered portfolio built around the medical center’s own community benefit priorities: behavioral health, cancer care, cardiovascular care, neuroscience, and pediatrics. The foundation’s recent grants show a strong preference for local institutions in Honolulu and across Hawaiʻi, with recurring support to university-affiliated health and research organizations as well as community health providers. Its giving also reflects a broad interpretation of health and well-being. Grants have supported Keiki mental health programming through University Clinical Education & Research, Project Ola Kulu at University of Hawaii JABSOM, and general support for Hawaii Cancer Consortium. Other awards extend into health education, science fairs, workforce and community capacity, and neighborhood organizations serving local residents. The Queen’s Medical Center’s structure and grant choices align with its stated intent to provide quality health care services in perpetuity for Native Hawaiians and all of the people of Hawaiʻi.

The portfolio also reaches into population health and local infrastructure. Waimanalo Health Center received $40,000 in 2023 for support for facility expansion, and Homeaid Hawaii received $100,000 in 2024 to support Kauhale tiny houses. Education-related giving includes $178,591 to Hawaii Academy of Science for the Hawaii State Science & Engineering Fair and $36,500 to the Jordan & Cara Odo Scholarship Foundation for general support. These grants show a mix of clinical, community, and educational purposes.
