Established in 2005, the H.T. Hayashi Foundation reflects the legacy of visionary hotelier and philanthropist Herbert Takami “H.T.” Hayashi. From humble beginnings, Hayashi became a self-made entrepreneur who believed in everyone’s ability, regardless of their background, to rise above their circumstances and change their lives for the better. Hayashi instilled his values of compassion, humility, and accountability in his children who continue their father’s legacy with a deep commitment to increasing self-sufficiency and quality of life for the people of Hawaii. Today, the foundation invests in arts and culture, human development, environmental conservation, and economic security, focusing on programs serving women, children, and the elderly.
