The grant will support the establishment of the Daniel K. Inouye Institute.
“Through the preservation and sharing of the late U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye’s collection of materials spanning his career as a public servant, The Daniel K. Inouye Institute will allow future generations to learn about Hawaii’s greatest political leader,” according to a press release.
The Institute will be an enduring tribute and legacy to an American hero and statesman who was committed to the ideals of freedom and fairness.

In 2012, the Foundation and Bank contributed over $2.5 million to more than 400 nonprofit organizations in Hawaii, Guam and Saipan, making it one of the largest corporate contributors to charity in the markets in which it does business.
The Foundation funds educational opportunities, access to health care, services for children and youth, human service needs and support for culture and the arts.
