About the Hawai‘i Life Charitable Fund
The HLCF was established to leverage Hawai‘i Life’s network of clients, friends and colleagues to support local causes while providing innovative and flexible ways for the company’s agents to donate to charitable causes. The HLCF is supported primarily through agent and broker donations throughout the year. In addition, the HLCF encourages Hawai‘i Life agents to volunteer their time to nonprofits in their island community.
The HLCF is managed in partnership with the Hawai‘i Community Foundation to ensure that all HLCF funds are distributed to maximize their impact in our communities. A volunteer Board of Directors made up of Hawai‘i Life employees and agents across the state direct the fund’s activities. Donations to the HLCF can be made online at give.hawaiilife.com/donate.
