Hawai‘i Gas Employees Give Back to Communities Across the Islands

With a focus on decarbonization and prioritizing social responsibility, we’re working hard to build a more sustainable future, with the well-being of Hawai‘i’s communities at the heart of everything we do.

Our employees take pride in supporting communities statewide through partnerships with local nonprofit organizations, volunteerism, and engagement in a variety of events. In 2024, Hawai‘i Gas employees committed more than 800 volunteer hours to environmental, social, and cultural initiatives through the company’s Kōkua Giving Program.

Established over 25 years ago, the Kōkua Giving Program was designed to build lasting relationships with local nonprofits, encourage employee philanthropy, and increase involvement in volunteer and charitable events. Today, the program continues to offer financial support to nonprofits and community organizations dedicated to education, environmental stewardship, cultural preservation, social services, and more. Through corporate donations and sponsorships, community outreach, and an employee matching initiative, Hawai‘i Gas makes a meaningful, multi-faceted impact.

“Social responsibility is a cornerstone of our broader sustainability efforts,” said Alicia Moy, President and CEO at Hawai‘i Gas. “By supporting local organizations, we help build a stronger, more resilient community. These priorities have always been central to the company’s mission.”

Over the past year, Hawai‘i Gas contributed more than $300,000 to a range of nonprofit groups through the Kōkua Giving program. This included donations to organizations like Holomua Collective, Helping Hands Hawai‘i, and funding for scholarships at local community colleges through the University of Hawai‘i Foundation. Employees also supported longstanding partners such as the Special Olympics and Aloha United Way through volunteer work and workplace giving campaigns.

Hawai‘i Gas also amplifies individual employee donations through a matching program that doubles personal donations to qualified nonprofits. “It’s incredible to see employees support causes near and dear to their hearts, from organizations that help animals, fund cancer research, and beyond,” said Moy. “We are committed to empowering our employees in all of the ways they give back, increasing our collective ability to make a difference.”
