Hawaiian Way Fund (HWF), based in Honolulu, Hawaii, is the donor program of the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA), a tax-exempt non-profit corporation reaching hundreds of community-based organizations. The HWF name celebrates the Hawaiian way by which Aloha is shared, the Hawaiian way by which the lives of others are enhanced, and the Hawaiian way of finding solutions within the community. The name represents and honors the Indigenous culture of the Hawaiian Islands. The purpose of the HWF is to enhance the well-being of Hawaii through community-based initiatives founded on Hawaiian culture, knowledge, and traditions. It is a unique cultural and community development fund that connects everyday individuals to the power of Hawaiian culture. The overall goals of the HWF are: * To invest in Native Hawaiian community organizations * To decrease fundraising expenses for all involved * To increase direct impact of gifts * To support multiple small nonprofits * To provide accountability to donors, recipients, and the community ==History== The HWF was founded by CNHA in 2004, with seed funding and support from CNHA and two corporations. In the beginning, a roundtable of more than 30 community organizations provided guidance for the Fund. In September 2004, nine (9) ''Partner Recipients'' working in communities and with Hawaii residents across the state were awarded Fund dollars. Since then, HWF has continued to grow, and support programs dedicated to community development, enhancing best practices, and increasing the skills of community organizations. As of July 2009, HWF supports over thirty (30) ''Partner Recipients''. In addition to providing direct funding to Hawaiian organizations, the HWF also sponsors specific programs and events, such as, conventions and grants forums. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hawaiian Way Fund」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
