ALEXANDER & BALDWIN FOUNDATION • 2003 REVIEW OF GIVING ENGAGE ENGAGEThroughout 2003, the leaders of the Alexander & Baldwin Foundation engaged in dialogue with A&B’s communities, and the non-profit organizations that strengthen them, in the course of our consideration of hundreds of requests for charitable support. These requests reflected the needs of our communities—needs ranging from early childhood education, to musical and artistic enrichment, to meals for our elders. We engaged in thoughtful deliberation about these needs and, by year’s end, approved more than 350 grants totaling NGAGE$1.44 million for agencies in Hawaii and in key communities of the U.S. mainland. ENABLE ENABLEThese grants enabled charitable agency leadership, staff and volunteers to serve their clients— be they hungry families aided by a food bank or eager schoolchildren intent on mastering new technology. And these monies were available thanks to the dedicated efforts of the employees of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and its subsidiaries, whose work enables the company NABLEto generously fund the A&B Foundation. EMPOWER EMPOWERParticularly intriguing to us are those grants which empower people in our communities to help themselves or to help each other. As a Hawaii-based company, we believe this goes to the root of the “aloha spirit” and what Hawaii is all about, and it’s something we value greatly. We also believe it is the core for any healthy community, anywhere. In 2003, grants were given to help neighbors build homes for one another, to learn CPR to save lives, to mentor youth, to learn OWERhow to save special environments, and to collectively imagine a future for their communities. ENDURING ENDURINGAfter more than 120 years of thoughtful donations, A&B’s commitment to its communities can best be described as enduring. And while each calendar year’s Review of Giving, such as this one, tells a twelve-month tale of several hundred grants, cumulatively the impact of our support is best measured by the improving quality of life enjoyed by each successive generation. We hope you will engage yourself for a few minutes to review these many grants detailed URINGin this 2003 Review of Giving. Allen Doane Meredith J. Ching James S.

The awards from the A&B Foundation ranged from start-up funding to major capital support, in grants sized from $100 to $173,500. Our support often is enduring, reflecting a long tradition of investing in the community’s social fabric. In other cases, our Foundation engages with new causes, reflecting the changes that time brings to all of the communities in which Alexander & Baldwin employees live and work.

The agency enables children and adults with mental retardation to participate in appropriate sporting activities that emphasize training and competing, rather than winning. An increased grant in 2003 enabled athletes to compete on neighbor islands, as well.
