Aloha United Way has served the Oʻahu community for more than 100 years. Established in 1919 as the United Welfare Fund by local philanthropist, Frank C. Atherton with the help of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce; the United Welfare Fund envisioned a more efficient way of raising and distributing charitable giving.
It was the first time in Hawaiʻi that multiple charities raised money jointly for their organizations. There were 17 charities named as recipients in the first year of the United Welfare Fund. The new group’s goal was to raise $250,000 in its first year. Aloha United Way grew from this collaboration and now partners with more than 300+ nonprofit organizations.
