Matson Foundation created for community benefit

The Matson Foundation has been formed to administer all the corporate giving programs of Matson Inc.

The foundation established by former parent company Alexander & Baldwin Inc. used to administer such giving, but Matson and A&B recently separated.

The Matson Foundation generally will support nonprofit organizations that have the greatest opportunity to make a positive difference in the markets where Matson does business, the company said, in a statement.
