"We are so grateful for the support from the Conduit Fund. It helps us deliver IHS's array of just-in-time personalized help for people young and old experiencing a housing crisis. Whether it's getting a senior back into housing after eviction, connecting a child who's fallen behind in school with needed tutoring, providing a delicious and nutritious hot meal to a hungry heart, or walking some through their final days in one of our shelters, we continue to be there. We also partner with our local community to simply let people know they are loved and valued by God, even when they feel like they've been abandoned. We need volunteers.

“The Conduit Fund gift is going to our Kokua Fund, which is used to help people in need within and beyond the church. Almost 100 percent of the Fund in recent years has gone to people who are not part of our congregation, and since the ending of government support post-pandemic, cries for help have been steady.

“The Conduit Fund gift is going to our Kokua Fund, which is used to help people in need within and beyond the church. Almost 100 percent of the Fund in recent years has gone to people who are not part of our congregation, and since the ending of government support post-pandemic, cries for help have been steady. Our Fund recently bottomed out, to the point where I turned down a couple of people, so your gift is most welcome and well-timed!---

“Conduit Fund’s donation lifted the spirits of six men who were in the canoe, Kaipo, when it got damaged. Kaipo is “on hold” until it gets repaired with the donated funds. The donation also lifted the spirits of the club members because all canoes are needed to continue our community outreach programs like the Access Surf Organization for disabled children and adults, teach military groups about our Hawaiian culture through paddling, and help lay people’s ashes to rest at sea.”---

"The Hawaii Tigers Baseball Organization would like to thank the Conduit Fund for the generous donation used to provide travel opportunities for Hawaii high school baseball players to compete against some of America's top travel baseball organizations. Besides the travel opportunities to develop baseball skills, the Hawaii Tigers Baseball Organization are firm believers in having our players pursue a post high school education. We help our players make connections to colleges and universities by sending videos of our players. We also help our players gain exposure by creating recruiting profiles and posting their videos onto social media."

“Mahalo for your generous gift, which has significantly contributed to making our community safer. I wanted to inform you about a couple of specific ways your donation has aided us in this substantial endeavor. One way your contribution has been instrumental is by enabling us to enhance our surveillance system. We have incorporated eight new high-definition cameras, effectively extending our coverage across the property to enhance our surveillance even when no one is present. In addition, your donation has empowered us to enlist the services of a monitoring company to oversee a select few cameras during nighttime hours. This added layer of security provides peace of mind to those in the neighborhood who utilize our property for parking. One more item which has really helped is to add extra manned patrols through the night. Without generous gifts like yours this level of security simply would not be possible.”---Andrew Large, Senior Pastor, Waikiki Baptist Church http://waikikibaptist.com/

Many of the Conduit Fund's Live Aloha Daily award recipients had never received an award for academics and my hope is that students would gain the confidence to continue to build on their writing.

“We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your incredibly generous donation to Cornerstone Charities. Your support played a crucial role in making the 98 Degrees fundraising concert at the Blaisdell Arena a resounding success in aiding the relief efforts on Maui. Thanks to your contribution, we were able to cover the costs of lighting and sound equipment, essential for creating a memorable event aimed at supporting those affected by the devastating fires on August 8th, 2024. Through music, art, and the collective talent of numerous artists, we united to raise awareness and vital financial aid for the victims. Your kindness and generosity have made a significant impact, allowing us to bring together a diverse community for a noble cause which brings about positive change for the people of Maui. Without donors like you, our efforts to produce such impactful events would not be possible. Once again, thank you for your unwavering support and commitment to making a positive difference in our community."---Dennis James Lee, Founder and Director of Cornerstone Charities https://cornerstonecharities.com.
