Donate to the Maui Strong Fund

Contributions will provide financial resources that are focused on rapid response and recovery for the devastating wildfires on Maui.

Funding will support evolving needs as identified by our partners doing critical work on Maui.

In response to the devastating fires on Maui, Hawaiʻi Public Radio and Hawaiʻi Community Foundation joined forces to raise money for the Maui Strong Fund, from August 22 until midnight Friday, August 25.

One-hundred percent of proceeds raised by HPR were donated to Hawaiʻi Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund, which had already awarded more than $5 million dollars to fifty entities on the ground, supporting the people and places affected by the Maui wildfire.

HPR applied for and received special permission from the Federal Communications Commission, permitting the station to use its airwaves to fundraise for another organization. The station covered transaction processing fees so that 100% of dollars contributed will go to the Maui Strong Fund. HPR has canceled its scheduled fall membership campaign and redirected efforts to this fundraiser.

“A heartfelt mahalo to Hawai‘i Public Radio for launching this two-day fundraiser to support the relief and recovery efforts of the Maui wildfires,” says Micah Kāne, CEO and President of Hawai‘i Community Foundation. “We hope this effort and so many others uplift Maui communities and show them that we are with them now and in the long-run.”
