Partners in Development Foundation received a $43,009 grant from ASB\u2019s Kahiau 2021 Giving Campaign. The funding will support program keiki and their \u02bbohana, as well as community members in need of PIDF\u2019s continued Covid-19 relief resources and services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASB raised a total of $360,708 to donate to support local community organizations during a time when they need it most. An impressive 95 percent of ASB teammates participated in the annual workplace giving program. This year\u2019s \u201cWe\u2019re all in this together,\u201d canoe\u2010themed campaign generated $210,708 in teammate donations, which was then matched by an additional $150,000 from ASB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur local nonprofits across the state have been crucial in providing much\u2010needed services to our community throughout the pandemic and we are thrilled to be able to support them during these challenging times,\u201d said Ann Teranishi, President and CEO of ASB. \u201cI am so proud of our teammates for grabbing their paddles and giving from their hearts so that our nonprofit partners can continue their life\u2010changing work.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word \u201cKahiau\u201d in Hawaiian means \u201cto give from the heart without expecting anything in return.\u201d PIDF is one of five recipients of the Kahiau funds. The other recipients include the Child & Family Service, Kapiolani Health Foundation, Kupu, and United Way chapters in Hawai\u02bbi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASB supports initiatives that promote educational excellence and financial literacy, strengthen families and foster innovation and entrepreneurship through donations, sponsorships, grants, scholarships, internships and volunteerism. ASB supports its Kahiau Community Partners year\u2010round through the bank\u2019s Seeds of Service volunteer program and financial literacy workshops.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe families we serve are hurting right now. We are so grateful for partners like ASB who go above and beyond to support our programs,  keiki, and \u02bbohana. It’s because of their loyal support and belief in our mission that we are able to work together to transform the lives of families for the better throughout Hawai\u02bbi. It\u2019s always a special relationship\u2014 even more so this year in particular,\u201d said Shawn Kana\u02bbiaupuni President and CEO of PIDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to serving higher numbers of at-risk youth, in the past year, PIDF worked quickly to close the gap for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (NHPI) who had difficulty accessing resources during the covid-19 pandemic. The Open Arms Harbor iso-quarantine facility served over 225 members of the community who had been exposed to or tested positive for covid-19 and needed a place to heal. Not only that, PIDF partnered with key community partners to launch Wifi on Wheels, a van providing wireless internet access to connect keiki and \u02bbohana in Wai\u02bbanae for distance learning, provided electronic devices like tablets and headphones, and distributed over 60,000 pounds of food throughout Hawai\u02bbi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
