About Consuelo Zobel Alger Foundation
The Consuelo Zobel Alger Foundation focuses on strengthening Filipino and broader Hawaiian community wellbeing through sizable, place-based grants. Major gifts support Filipino cultural/community institutions and cross‑border Philippines–Hawaii ties, while other awards fund disaster relief, immigrant rights and capacity/leadership building for women nonprofit leaders. Grants are often unrestricted or event/fundraiser–linked and respond to urgent community needs (e.g., Maui/Lahaina recovery).

About Consuelo Zobel Alger Foundation
The Consuelo Zobel Alger Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by place-based support for Filipino and Hawaiian community institutions, with one of its largest grants going to The Filipino Community Center in Waipahu for its 20th anniversary. That pattern sits alongside sustained support for family and child welfare organizations in Hawaiʻi and the Philippines, including multiple payments to Child and Family Service and Child and Family Service Philippines Inc. The foundation also funds community needs that arise quickly, from Maui fire response to assistance for Lahaina survivors, while backing cultural and civic infrastructure such as canoe clubs, regatta travel, and kalo subsidies. Several awards are linked to convenings, training, or operational support rather than a single project, suggesting a preference for strengthening organizations as well as programs. The grant list also shows support for women nonprofit leaders through a cohort-based convening, and for immigrant-rights work tied to emergency support in Hawaiʻi. Across these grants, the foundation appears to prioritize community wellbeing through direct service, cultural continuity, and responsive aid to organizations serving children, families, and local communities.

Family and child wellbeing is a core theme.

In Hawaiʻi, it also awarded $15,000 to We Are Oceania for work with youth and families to promote wellbeing and prevent childhood adversity. Cultural and community institutions are another focus: the foundation gave $125,000 to The Filipino Community Center - Filcom for its 20th anniversary and $11,800 to Mauliola Ke'ehi for renovation of two containers, canoe repair, and canoe covers. Disaster response appears as well, including $25,000 to Maui United Way for Maui fire relief efforts and $9,301 to Bidlisiw Foundation Inc for assistance to a fire-affected community. Education and skills-building also show up through $8,093 to Idea Philippines for specialized vocational training for senior high school students.
