Hawaiʻi Workforce Funders Collaborative was launched in partnership by HMSA, Harold K.L. Castle Foundation, The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation and the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation to strengthen partnerships and systems to provide equitable access to living wage jobs for Hawaiʻi residents. The Collaborative’s mission is to increase island prosperity by strengthening public-private partnerships and systems that increase the number of high-quality jobs that support individuals and communities, preparing and connecting local residents to these high-quality jobs, with a focus on equity, so they can earn wages and benefits that allow them to support themselves and others, and increasing employment, earnings, and equity for local residents, strengthening the Hawaiʻi economy overall. Funds to support the work of the collaborative are provided by all of the member foundations and administered by the Hawaii Community Foundation.
