Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Maui United Way has stayed vital to our community since 1945 for good reason: we know how to put the right people together with the right resources to make the right things happen. We are working to address Maui’s most vital needs through the impact areas of Education, Income (sustainability) and Health. Our goal is to bring people, organizations and our community together around a common cause, a common vision, and a common path forward. Maui has a massive inequality problem, specifically in the Asset Limited Income Constrained Employed (ALICE). What this means is that a large portion of the community is a measure of the lack of stability in family's financial and housing situation.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To lead in uniting partners to provide a thriving, sustainable quality of life by effectively addressing Maui’s most vital needs and inspiring people to give, advocate and volunteer. By partnering with the most vital and successful non-profits in Maui County we are able to address the direst needs of the community in real-time. In addition to this, we are working with our local government to educate on the future needs of the community and how we can improve lives based on health, education, and economic equality.

We continually work with local groups that include Maui Non-Profit Director's association, local United Ways, Local and Federal Government, business and community leaders and our Kapuna to engage and communicate how best the nonprofit sector can help the community. In addition to this, we are working on shaping new enterprise investments into Maui County to include the community's needs as a line item for companies looking to do business here.

Maui United Way has a foundation in the community that sets us apart from others. We've been supporting Maui County since 1945 and have capacity both at the hyper-local level as well as a footprint on the national and global stage to address the toughest needs effecting our community.

We have recently opened up our funding to all eligible nonprofits within Maui County to reward those that are doing the most for the community. We have also streamlined our selection process to allow the community to be part of the solution. We will always be growing and looking for better ways to work with the community always coming first for Maui United Way. We're excited to begin our 5-year plan on how we can do more with less.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
