Maui Ola

Bennet Group provided strategic consultation and media services for Maui Ola

“Maui Ola: A Benefit Concert for Maui” was a live concert held at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu on August 20, 2023. The concert raised nearly $1 million in donations in the 24 hours after the broadcast. The concert was a benefit for the Maui community, and all proceeds went to affected families and businesses.

Aloha United Way’s ALICE FUND

As 2021 came to a close, Bennet Group thoughts were with the families throughout Hawai‘i who have had an especially difficult time navigating the challenges of the pandemic and the impact it’s had on our local economy.

By creating a mini-campaign and giving opportunity for clients, they were able to help direct funding to the Aloha United Way’s ALICE Fund, providing essential support to working families caught in the difficult zone, earning just above the federal poverty level but below Hawai‘i’s higher basic cost of living.

Visit www.auw.org/united-for-alice to learn more about this vital program and how we can all lend our neighbors and our community a much needed helping hand.

Women's Fund of Hawai‘i

Bennet Group provides ongoing support to the Women’s Fund of Hawai‘i. Their mission is to support innovative, grassroots programs that empower women and girls statewide. The Fund provides information and education on women’s and girls’ philanthropy, shines a light on women’s and girls’ issues, and increases the visibility of our grantees.

Advocates of the Environment

Because we live and work on a small island chain where resources are precious and finite, we seek to incorporate good environmental management practices in all that we do. We contribute to the organizations that are helping to protect and preserve Hawaii’s rich and rare environment. Our goal is to help ensure Hawaii’s environment will be protected for future generations.
