Join Hawai'i Community Foundation for a conversation on how philanthropy is shifting from transactional, project-based giving to trust-based, flexible funding focused on long-term impact. This presentation explores why this shift is happening nationally, why it matters for Hawai'i, and how HCF's CHANGE Framework aligns community voice, data and trust to address some of our State's most complex challenges. Learn how advisors play a critical role in helping clients design philanthropy that is both impactful and adaptive.
