ASB Announces 10 Local Nonprofit Winners of $100,000 Community-Driven Competition

Over 24,000 votes cast in support of 30 finalists

American Savings Bank (ASB) is proud to announce the 10 winners of the ASB Charitable Foundation’s $100,000 donation competition, an initiative launched to commemorate ASB’s 100 years of service to Hawaii. In just two weeks, more than 24,000 votes were cast in support of nearly 30 nonprofit finalists, demonstrating the strength of Hawaii’s community-driven spirit.

“American Savings Bank is honored to support these deserving nonprofits that work hard every day to tackle Hawaii’s most critical challenges,” said Ann Teranishi, president and CEO at American Savings Bank. “We saw an amazing level of engagement and support from the community up until the final minute of the competition. As we celebrate 100 years of serving Hawaii, this is just one of the many ways we’re reaffirming our commitment to the community and a stronger future for Hawaii.”

ASB teammates nominated nearly 30 nonprofits and programs making a difference in areas that align with ASB’s community focus areas of promoting financial education, increasing supply and access to affordable housing and supporting the revitalization of Aala Park and the neighboring communities. Afterwards, the community was invited to vote daily for their favorite nonprofit from this list.

The winning nonprofits will each receive $10,000 to continue providing vital services that will positively impact individuals and families across Hawaii.
