Ho-ku- le‘a

Kupu

HEI is a proud patron of Ho-ku- le‘a’s voyage around the world . The Hawaiian name for this voyage, Malama Honua, means “to care for our Earth .” For portions of her journey, Ho-ku- le‘a is being joined by Hikianalia, a state-of-the-art solar and wind powered canoe—merging the wisdom of Hawai‘i’s voyaging ancestors with modern technology—as they travel to more than 25 countries in a mission of exploration, discovery and sustainability for our “island” earth .

“When people come together around a common vision, they can accomplish great things. Through their volunteerism and giving spirit, HEI, Hawaiian Electric, and American Savings Bank were one of the first to support the Worldwide Voyage and have been our family throughout our journey. They have teamed up and worked together with many supporters in our community to make Ho-ku- le‘a’s voyage possible and we are very grateful. HEI shares in our hopes, our dreams, and our vision for a better Hawai‘i and its relationship to the world.”

“Kupu is grateful for the support of HEI, American Savings Bank, and Hawaiian Electric. Their support contributed to Kupu’s cumulative $14.5 million in impact last year. Participants in Kupu’s programs not only restored the world around them, but they also gained valuable and transferable job skills, credits and educational pathway development, and a heart to care for Hawai‘i. The HEI Companies are helping Kupu to not only create meaningful change today, but we are developing future leaders and stewards of our state for years to come.”

HEI is proud to partner with Kupu, which in Hawaiian means “to sprout, grow, germinate, or increase .” Kupu was developed in response to the growing needs of Hawai‘i’s communities to train up the next generation in natural resource management, renewable energy, energy conservation and other green job skill sets . Kupu is predicated on the Hawaiian concept of ma ka hana ka ‘ike, “in working one learns .”

After-School All-StarsHEI is a proud supporter of After-School All-Stars (ASAS), a non-profit organization which provides comprehensive after-school programs that keep children safe and help them succeed in school and in life . The after-school hours provide a uniquely creative and entrepreneurial time in the field of public education . By teaming up with principal and faculty at each site, ASAS is able to identify each student’s specific needs and tailor programming to supplement the existing efforts at school .

Makana ConnectionTo help our students excel in a 21st century learning environment, HEI stepped forward to donate 1,000 laptops and iPads as part of the Makana Connection initiative . This public-private partnership with the Department of Education will forge a learning process to help equip public school students with digital devices and teachers with training in technology-based learning .

15

“We are so grateful to HEI, American Savings Bank, and the Hawaiian Electric Companies. Thanks to their continued support, we have been able to establish and maintain after-school programs at middle schools throughout the state. Hawai‘i’s youth now have somewhere safe to go, with something productive to do, at a time when they need it most.”

“I want to extend my sincere appreciation to the great folks at HEI for having the courage to choose the students at Kea‘au Elementary School to participate in the Makana Project. Today I visited classrooms of children from some of the most poverty stricken homes in our state and watched them learn on some of the greatest technology on the planet, taught by teachers with harmonious passion. Today was one of my proudest moments. Please extend this note to all who shared in this vision so they may stand tall in knowing that it is making a huge difference.”

Energy Excelerator

O‘ahu Economic Development Board

HEI proudly serves as Corporate Foundation Partner to Energy Excelerator, a nonprofit program that funds innovative energy solutions by aspiring entreprenuers—supporting our efforts toward a clean energy future as well as driving economic development in our state . Over the last several years, HEI has donated more than $500,000 to Energy Excelerator .

HEI is a proud supporter of the O‘ahu Economic Development Board (OEDB), formerly known as Enterprise Honolulu . OEDB is a non-profit, funded primarily by the private sector . The organization’s efforts support a healthy economy on O‘ahu by being a leading agent in the growth, retention and recruitment of businesses that support jobs in Hawai‘i . OEDB is also actively involved in infrastructure, planning and workforce development to build the foundation for a prosperous economy . Since 2010, HEI has donated more than $500,000 to OEDB .

21

“HEI, Hawaiian Electric, and American Savings Bank has not only encouraged the Oahu Economic Development Board with words and best wishes. Carrying forth from 2010, the HEI Charitable Foundation has stood as our largest private contributor. Their support is more than a partnership of New Market Tax Credits, co-steering the Hawai‘i Clean Energy Initiative with other state leaders, or working on economic growth initiatives for our state. We know and recognize that the support of OEDB is an endorsement and plea for us to lead with the best of our heritage, knowledge, and values; to care for each other, our natural resources, our home, and our future; and to find solutions that impact Hawai‘i and contribute to the world. We are so thankful!”

“Hawai‘i is no longer just talking about energy innovation; over the last 3 years Hawaiian Electric Industries has partnered with Energy Excelerator and our entrepreneurs to integrate over 10 innovative technologies with their customers. With a newly designed innovation evaluation strategy, Hawaiian Electric is taking the right steps to evolve into a utility of the future and to scale innovation that can help Hawai‘i reach our 100% renewable energy goal.”

United Way

Partners in Development

HEI and its employees proudly support the Aloha United Way, Maui United Way, Hawai‘i Island United Way, Kaua‘i United Way, and the Friendly Isle United Fund on Molokai . The United Way organizations build stronger, healthier communities throughout Hawai‘i by partnering with business, labor, government, and non profit organizations, delivering measurable and sustainable solutions . Since 2010, corporate donations from the HEI Charitable Foundation, employee fundraisers, and individual contributions from employees have exceeded $6 million .

HEI is a proud supporter of the Partners in Development Foundation (PIDF) . PIDF has been dedicated to drawing upon the ancient Hawaiian cultural traditions to meet the current challenges facing today’s Hawaiian population . Using vital traditional concepts such as the ahupua‘a system of land and environmental stewardship, and ho‘ona‘auao, traditional mentorship in education, Partners in Development creates and implements programs to address the needs of at-risk groups within the Hawaiian community, such as preschool children, their caregivers, and economically depressed neighborhoods .

27

“HEI, American Savings Bank, and the Hawaiian Electric Companies have been vital partners in our work to transform the lives of our clients, and have strengthened our ability to serve vulnerable communities. Like the pewa joint that repaired traditional calabashes, they have provided critical resources to mend the lives of the many children and families we serve throughout Hawai‘i.”

“The HEI companies are the single biggest contributor to Aloha United Way, and have been for the last few years. HEI employees put their heart into this every year with the goal of helping individuals and families in our community who are less fortunate. Combined with the HEI Charitable Foundation’s corporate gift of $300,000, they put food on tables, help provide shelter to homeless, and support many other much needed programs and services. This past year, we proudly awarded HEI, Hawaiian Electric and American Savings Bank the Ho‘okela and Lokahi Awards, recognizing their overall achievement in increased employee participation and in monetary donations.”
