CHANGE Initiatives
At the 2018 Hawaiʻi Executive Conference, leaders adopted the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation’s CHANGE framework by creating committees under each CHANGE sector and driving collective action based on a common data set to address Hawaiʻi’s greatest challenges. In addition to CHANGE initiatives led by each committee, in 2020, co-chairs committed to working together and focusing on three goals:
- Engaging the business sector to help Hawaiʻi achieve a complete count for Census 2020
- Collaborating to ensure that every 3- and 4-year-old has access to affordable early learning opportunities by 2030
- Creating systems to increase housing affordability
