Clicking for Cash

Blue Planet Foundation has partnered with Kokua Hawaii Foundation to earn some valuable dollars from the Chase Community Giving program. Chase is donating $5 million to nonprofit organizations across the country, and we would love to see some of it directed toward a better future for Hawaii. WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Fundraising is an indispensable part of keeping nonprofits alive. It makes it possible for groups like ours to implement programs that support the nonprofit sector's universal mission of improving the world we live in. With this Chase campaign, instead of asking for your money, we're asking for your vote. The top 196 vote-getters will be awarded with a $10,000 contribution.

Each voter gets to cast two votes, so please vote for Hawaii! Click here to support Blue Planet Foundation, and click here to support Kokua Hawaii Foundation. Voting ends on Sep. 19. We'd appreciate your help, too, in passing these links forward—thank you for your valuable contribution!

We recently received this heartwarming note from a Blue Planet supporter who devoted her time, creativity, and money to advocate for Hawaii's clean energy future:

Hi, I am a sixth grader from Kamehameha Elementary School. I chose to make recycled can tab bracelets and sell them to raise money for this cause, as a part of my service learning project. I collected the can tabs from friends and family, and my mom donated the Lucky Color Gum elastics from her business. I recruited my mom along with a couple of friends, and we made the bracelets. I am also a girl scout, so during cookie booth sales I sold bracelets as well. I made sure to mention the Blue Planet Foundation and your goal. I created a sign to advertise the bracelets and this foundation. In total, I dedicated 15 hours and 40 minutes of service. Because of this, today I am able to donate all $140 I raised!

Thank you for your dedication, Aya!
