JULIETTE M. ATHERTON
Juliette M. Atherton, the widow of Joseph B.
Atherton, expressed her commitment to the welfare
of the people of Hawai‘i with the creation of the
Juliette M. Atherton Trust. On December 21, 1915,
Mrs. Atherton transferred 20 percent of the
outstanding shares of the Atherton Estate to her
children, Charles H. Atherton, Mary A. Richards
and Frank C. Atherton. The 1,500 shares would
be held in trust to continue the charitable work
that Mrs. Atherton was vitally interested in
throughout her life.
Mrs. Atherton originally retained the right to amend
or revoke the Trust. In 1921, the Trust became an
irrevocable charitable trust when she gave up her
rights and amended the governing documents.
This action was taken in recognition of the
exemplary service performed by the Trustees,
and that they and succeeding Trustees would
perpetuate the Trust’s philanthropic purposes
as intended by Mrs. Atherton. The Deed directed
that the Trust income be used for:
“… grants, loans and other forms of payment toward
assisting in the establishment, maintenance, or
promotion of such religious, charitable, educational,
benevolent, scientific, or other purposes, works,
or enterprises, whether public or private, including
schools, colleges, hospitals, asylums, homes and
the like institutions and objects for the public
benefit, and including also the support and
education of individuals during their attendance
at any educational institution, and whether to
corporations, associations or other organizations
or any private individual or individuals, as the
Trustees shall in each case in their discretion
and of their own volition approve.”
FRANK C. ATHERTON
Frank C. Atherton, business executive and
philanthropist, was born in Honolulu on July 1, 1877.
He was the son of industrialist Joseph B. Atherton
and Juliette M. Atherton, daughter of pioneer
American missionaries to Hawai‘i. Mr. Atherton
attended Wesleyan University in Middletown,
Connecticut. Upon his return to Hawai‘i, he entered
the world of finance and later became interested
in industry. Like his forebears, he devoted much
of his time to religious and civic works. On
December 24, 1935, 10 years prior to his death,
he established the Frank C. Atherton Trust to
continue his support of religious, educational, and
charitable programs and organizations. Grants
and donations from the Frank C. Atherton Trust
were primarily used to support charitable projects
and programs in the state of Hawai‘i. In accordance
with the purposes expressed in the Trust agreement,
grants were for:
“… the making of donations, contributions,
subscriptions, loans and other forms of payment
for or toward assisting the establishment,
maintenance and/or promotion of such religious,
scientific, educational and other charitable purposes
and enterprises whether public or private, including
churches, societies, schools, colleges, hospitals,
asylums, homes and like institutions and object
for the public benefit.”
Mr. Atherton appointed Eleanore S. Atherton,
Marjory A. Wightman and himself as Trustees.
ATHERTON FAMILY FOUNDATION
In 1975, the Trustees of the Juliette M. Atherton Trust initiated
action, which resulted in the creation of the Atherton Family
Foundation, a nonprofit corporation organized in the state of
Hawai‘i. A charter of incorporation was granted on November
4, 1975. The Trustees then voted unanimously to transfer all
investment property and income of the Trust to the Atherton
Family Foundation and transfer instruments were executed in
January 1976. In December 1976, the Trustees voted unanimously
to transfer the property of the Frank C. Atherton Trust to the
Atherton Family Foundation and executed appropriate
instruments shortly thereafter.
Historically, the policies, the type of requests considered,
and the primary fields of interest of the Juliette M. Atherton
Trust and the Frank C. Atherton Trust were similar in nature.
Both Trusts considered educational programs and institutions
the highest priority, and gave careful attention to religious
organizations and health and social services.
The consolidation of the two Trusts fulfilled several objectives:
to provide more efficient administration, to allow greater
flexibility in foundation policies, to increase protection and
growth of the investment assets, and to increase the number
of members and directors.
The diversity of the Directors’ perceptions and experiences has
enhanced the Foundation’s capacity to respond to the community
and broadened its representation of charitable interests.
The Atherton Family Foundation is now one of the largest
endowed grantmaking private resources in the state of Hawai‘i
devoted exclusively to the support of charitable activities.
It perpetuates the philanthropic commitment expressed during
the lifetimes of Juliette M. Atherton and Frank C. Atherton, and
of the family who have followed them.

2013 Year in Review
The Atherton Family Foundation has a distinguished history of funding a broad spectrum of
organizations across the State. In 2013, the Directors of the Foundation awarded over $4.2 million
in grants to non-profit organizations serving the people of Hawaii.
The Directors recognize that the non-profit community is critical to the quality of life in Hawaii.
While it varies by fields, all nonprofits require some support from private philanthropy. The Foundation
continues to fund a wide range of sectors, including Arts and Culture, Community Development,
Education, Early Childhood Education, Environment, Health, Human Services, Religion and Spiritual
Development, and Youth Development.
Arts and cultural organizations contribute to a vibrant community
that enhances the quality of life for residents in the islands. In the
last year, the Foundation supported arts, cultural and historical
organizations throughout the state. Approximately 60% of these
grants were made to performing and applied arts organizations,
for both public programs and education, while the other 40% were
made to historical organizations who share and perpetuate the
story of our islands.
The Foundation is committed to supporting private education as
an option for Hawai‘i families. Eighteen (18) private schools received
a grant to enhance their facilities or for educational programs.
In addition, the Foundation made grants to 9 organizations for
education enrichment programs such as after school programs,
environmental awareness programs, and media projects.
Recognizing the critical importance of early childhood in providing
opportunities for young children to prepare for school, the Foundation
awarded 16 grants to preschools around the state to support capital
improvements such as playgrounds and facility upgrades. Other
grants were to strengthen early childhood quality through advocacy
and systems change, and to help move early childhood education
programs toward national accreditation and state licensing.
A healthy natural environment is critical to the future of our state
and the Foundation is committed to supporting organizations that
provide environmental education, stewardship, and conservation
programs in communities on each island. In 2013, the Foundation
provided a total of 23 grants to organizations contributing to the
wellbeing of our natural environment.
There is a growing need for access to affordable healthcare in our
communities. Recognizing this, almost 50% of the Foundation’s
grants to health organizations went to hospitals, community health
centers and other providers for facility upgrades or development.
Another 30% went to health education programs for patients and
the public while 20% went to health care provider training and
education programs to improve health practices and services.
Human Service organizations provide the safety net for the most
vulnerable populations in our state. The United Way organizations
in each county have a long history of supporting a wide variety
of human service organizations in their communities. As they have
done for many years, the Foundation awarded a grant to each of
the United Way organizations in the State to expand each island’s
ability to support the organizations in their community. They have
also made several grants to individual human service organizations
to strengthen or expand their operations to better serve
their communities.
As missionary descendants, the Atherton family continues to
support religious and spiritual organizations and programs, regardless
of affiliation. This year, four grants were made to churches for capital
projects to improve their ability to serve their congregations.
Investing in the youth and young people of our community helps
them to reach their full potential and provide for a stronger future
for Hawai‘i. Grants to 14 programs supporting youth and young
adults were made in 2013 as well as 2 grants to improve facilities
at two organizations on the neighbor islands.
The Atherton Family Foundation continues its commitment as a
broad purpose funder in the State of Hawai‘i. As one of the largest
private foundations in Hawai‘i, the Directors feel a strong sense of
support for groups across the state that are contributing to the
welfare of Hawaii’s residents.

grant application guidelines
The Foundation makes grants for programs and projects that benefit the people of Hawai‘i. The fields
of greatest interest are arts, culture, and humanities; community development; education; environment;
health; human services; spiritual development; and youth development. Grant application information

Scholarship Program
The Juliette M. Atherton Scholarship was named in memory of Mrs. Atherton to ensure the continued
association of her name and her special interest in Christianity with the Foundation. The scholarship
benefits three categories of individuals: dependent sons or daughters of ordained, active Protestant
ministers in Hawai‘i pursuing undergraduate studies; individuals from Hawai‘i pursuing graduate
theological studies at a Protestant seminary with the goal of ordination; and active, ordained Protestant
ministers residing in Hawai‘i seeking an Advanced Degree. Scholarship recipients are selected based
on their financial need and academic promise.
For the 2014-2015 academic year, scholarship awards totaled $139,650 to 34 students. The Directors also
award an annual grant to support the Community Scholarship Fund at the Hawai‘i Community Foundation.
Applications will be available online beginning December 2014 for the 2015-2016 academic year
for seminary students, Protestant ministers pursuing advanced degrees, or sons and daughters of
Protestant ministers. Application materials, transcript of grades and personal statement must be
submitted by February 2015 (please see website for exact date).
Advanced Degree Program applicants must provide the place and date of ordination, and the name
of the seminary attended to confirm eligibility.
