Undertaking large-scale change begins when a small group of committed individuals with a shared vision enlists leaders to catalyze resources and reaches out to potential allies, including those whose voices currently go unheard. It is only by building effective coalitions across sectors and throughout communities that meaningful progress can occur. The power of partnerships enables better alignment and results for all of Hawai‘i’s people.
HCF has mobilized a movement to create lasting change for Hawaii’s people thanks to the capabilities of its indispensable partners.
The HCF CHANGE Framework was adopted at the 2018 Hawaii Executive Conference as a way to inspire leaders to collaborate for Hawaii
As the ultimate stewards of Hawaii’s future, community members are engaging with others on the ground to ensure that goals are in alignment with collective and ongoing efforts.
Nonprofit leaders are building on their existing engagements in the community and helping assemble collaborative agendas to deliver vital services and programs.
Business owners, companies, and investors are contributing their knowledge of important issues facing Hawaii and influencing their large networks to take action on measurable goals.
As the state’s largest landowner, employer, and purchaser of goods and services, the federal, state, and county governments are helping to lead and follow the public will on critical community issues.
