Leveraging Hawai‘i Capital

Leveraging Hawai‘i Capital

hir triangle aqua

LHC hosts quarterly impact investing oriented workshops to uplift expert knowledge and best practices for investing in and capitalizing the solutions needed to address the social and environmental challenges we face here in Hawaii.

These solutions need to be appropriately financed to be realized. Historically philanthropy and government were the primary funders and investors in this area. Those assets pale in comparison to what’s available in the private market. If we’re to have any chance of getting those solutions to market and to scale, we have to work across these capital silos, leverage limited assets in philanthropy and government, but also bring private assets into play.

LHC provides alternatives to the way that capital can be deployed across sectors, and also in collaboration with each other, to create the most leverage, and the most impact for the limited resources we have available to address our challenges.
