About Us
Mission
Founded in 1962, the Harold K.L. Castle Foundation
works to build resources for Hawaii's future. We do so by investing
in promising initiatives and organizations through grantmaking, using our
convening power, and introducing and spreading new ideas and approaches
to help solve some of Hawaii's most pressing problems. Specifically,
our mission is to:
- Close the achievement gap in public education so that all of Hawaii's
children, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have access to
and benefit from high-quality education, from pre-kindergarten through
12th grade, that prepares them for a successful future;
- Restore Hawaii's nearshore marine life populations so that future generations
can benefit and learn from this rich natural resource;
- Build on the strengths of Windward Oahu communities through investments
that support the region's rich cultural legacy, its youth and families,
and its natural resources; and
- Invest in a limited number of other unforeseen but compelling opportunities
to make a big difference in Hawaii's future.
