Explore Hawaii!

Since the late 19th century when the first family foundations were created in Hawaii, family philanthropy has played a key role in identifying problems and crafting solutions in this state. In fact, Hawaii has been called one of America’s most promising and significant learning laboratories.

The Family Foundation Conference guides you in Navigating Your Course to a strong and ethical foundation. The new Stewardship Principles for Family Foundations serve as the undercurrent to exploring principles and practices of effective foundations.

If you are new to the philanthropy field, this conference is an excellent introduction to the basics of running and governing a family foundation. For more experienced grantmakers, conference sessions led by your peers are sure to encourage thought and discussion about your role in shaping the future.
