Hawaii Corporate Citizenship / Partners in Philanthropy Awards

Overview

The Hawaii Corporate Citizenship / Partners in Philanthropy Awards, run by Pacific Business News in partnership with the Philadelphia Business Journal’s broader Partners in Philanthropy brand, recognizes Hawaii companies and corporate foundations for exemplary community impact, charitable giving, and leadership in philanthropy. Honorees are selected editorially based on their programs, partnerships, and measurable results in supporting local nonprofits and causes. Companies pursue it for regional visibility, credibility with stakeholders, and recognition alongside other leading corporate citizens in Hawaii. It is an editorially curated regional business-journal award, not a pay‑to‑play ranking.
