Did you know Aloha United Way has been serving Hawaiʻi for over a century?

In 1919, Honolulu philanthropist Frank C. Atherton started the United Welfare Fund with a goal of making community giving more efficient by uniting donors to support multiple charities. In its first year, the community raised $250,000 for 17 local organizations.

More than 100 years later, our name has changed to Aloha United Way, but that core mission of kōkua remains the same.

Today, we proudly partner with more than 300 nonprofits across the state and lead solutions like the ALICE Initiative to tackle Hawaiʻi’s most pressing challenges.
