The HawaiiUSA FCU Foundation is a private foundation which was established in June 2007 as a way for the credit union to support local charities with preference given to those working diligently to improve lives of children and those who are less fortunate, while strengthening Hawaii’s communities. Grants from the Foundation go directly to public, 501(c)(3) charities in Hawaii. In 2020, the HawaiiUSA FCU Foundation donated $196,212 to nearly 70 Hawaii organizations. This year so far, the Foundation has donated nearly $272,300 to 64 Hawaii organizations. Giving back to the community is part of HawaiiUSA FCU’s “Life Matters” commitment.
