Hawaii Realtors Charitable Foundation
The Hawai'i REALTORS® Charitable Foundation is a 501(c)(3) launched in 2020 to work with community partners to reduce food insecurity and provide housing support in Hawai‘i. The foundation page on the Hawai'i REALTORS site describes recent initiatives (including Maui wildfire disaster relief), donation options, and lists board officers and contact information.

Ideal Applicant
Organizations that administer or refer direct relief to disaster-affected homeowners or renters in Hawai‘i (or individual applicants who meet the published eligibility), especially groups that can support applicants through the foundation's documented application requirements.
Good Fit
- • Work directly with Maui/Lahaina wildfire survivors or other Hawai‘i disaster-affected households.
- • Can help individuals assemble required documentation (ID, mortgage/rental records, photos, tax-assessment verification).
- • Operate locally in Hawai‘i or have a clear pathway to reach eligible in-state applicants.
- • Provide small one-time financial assistance or case management consistent with the program's $1,500–$3,000 caps.
- • Willingness to follow the foundation's posted application form and submission procedures.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Hawai‘i (about 94% of dollars and 93% of grant count in the latest year), with only a small handful of out-of-state grants.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows hundreds of distinct individual recipients (568 in 2024 and 252 in 2023), indicating a broad recipient set of one-time individual awards rather than a tiny recurring circle.
New Applicants
The foundation posts an application form and clear eligibility rules on its website, and the observed grants are overwhelmingly to new individual applicants each year, so unfamiliar eligible applicants appear likely to access this program.
