HONOLULU – Hawaii State Federal Credit Union (Hawaii State FCU) today announced that employees raised $51,370 for local nonprofits through two fundraising initiatives held earlier this year, including the credit union’s Spring into Giving charitable match program and its second annual Burgers for a Cause event.
“These employee-driven campaigns reflect Hawaii State FCU’s long-standing commitment to caring for the communities where our members and employees live and work,” said Del Mochizuki, senior vice president and chief of staff at Hawaii State FCU. “By focusing on essential needs like food, kupuna care, and financial empowerment, our employees continue to demonstrate what it means to live our values in service to the community.”
Spring into Giving
From April 1–30, 2025, employees participated in the Spring into Giving campaign through the credit union’s charitable match program. With a 2:1 match provided by Hawaii State FCU, every dollar donated by employees was tripled. In total, $25,626 was raised to support 17 local nonprofit organizations, including Aloha United Way, Hawaii Foodbank, Family Promise of Hawaii, Lanakila Pacific, YMCA, Salvation Army, and the Maui Food Bank.
Burgers for a Cause
On July 29, 2025, employees came together for the credit union’s second annual Burgers for a Cause event benefitting Hawaiʻi Meals on Wheels. Staff from across Hawaii State FCU branch locations and headquarters gathered to enjoy burgers and boba while also taking part in a card-making activity for kupuna. The event raised $25,744, which included a $5,000 personal contribution from Andrew Rosen, president and CEO of Hawaii State FCU, and a $10,000 match from the credit union. Employees created 279 cards of encouragement for kupuna, many of which accompanied meal deliveries on October 13 during Hawaii State FCU Cares Day, the credit union’s annual community service effort.
