"This effort is in keeping with the mission of the HSBF to provide charitable and philanthropic support of the Hawai‘i State Bar Association's mission by increasing public understanding of the law, improving the justice system, facilitating delivery of and access to legal services, promoting the highest ideals of the legal professional, and inspiring the philanthropic spirit in Hawaii's legal community," said Jan Boivin, vice president & director of the HSBF.

  • Session 2: 10 Things a Nonprofit Needs to Do to Survive the Pandemic
  • Session 3: Federal Contract & Grant Compliance 101 for Nonprofits

Topics for six additional sessions will be determined and developed by a needs-based survey. Nonprofits with suggestions on topics can respond to the survey here. All ten sessions will be available on-demand throughout 2021.
