Leave a Legacy of Hope
At Catholic Charities Hawai‘i, we believe in the dignity of every person and the importance of providing help and creating hope—for today and for generations to come. As August marks Make-A-Will Month, we invite you to take an important step in caring for those you love—and the causes you believe in—by creating or updating your will. Surprisingly, only one-third of adults in the U.S. have a will. Yet, regardless of age or income, having a will ensures your wishes are honored, your loved ones are supported, and your values live on.
Extend Your Impact Through Legacy Giving
Estate planning isn’t just about finances or documents; it’s ultimately about your values and the legacy you wish to leave behind. At Catholic Charities Hawaii, we see every day how compassion and generosity can change lives. Whether it’s helping a family find stability, supporting kupuna who need care, or walking alongside individuals rebuilding their lives, this work is made possible by people who care deeply about our community.
Most of our supporters choose to reflect their values through thoughtful planning for the future. For some, that means simply ensuring their loved ones are protected. For others, it includes leaving a portion of their estate to support causes they believe in. Legacy giving allows your compassion and generosity to continue making a difference for future generations of Hawai’i families.
Join Our Circle of Hope Society
Those who include Catholic Charities Hawai‘i in their estate plans are welcomed into our Circle of Hope Society —a special group of supporters helping to build a more just and compassionate Hawai‘i. Members receive recognition (unless anonymity is preferred), invitations to special gatherings, updates on our impact, and the peace of mind that comes from transforming lives and supporting sustainability and self-sufficiency.
