First Hawaiian Bank announced Tuesday that its employees and retirees donated $813,760 to 32 charities in Hawaii, Guam and Saipan as part of the bank’s annual Kokua Mai campaign. The bank’s Kokua Mai giving program allows its employees to contribute to causes and charities that are personally meaningful to them. Established in 2007, employees and retirees have donated over $8.6 million through Kokua Mai in support of thousands of people who receive assistance through its designated nonprofit organizations.

Employee participation rate was 99% for the fourth straight year in a row.

The program is run completely by employees, and the bank covers all program costs so that 100% of every employee contribution goes to their charity of choice. Employees engage in a variety of activities to encourage participation, from baked goods and book sales to online auctions.
