Membership to FANHS Hawai‘i State Chapter (HSC)

Reports indicate Filipinos were in Hawai’i long before 1906.  However, we celebrated 1906 as the year Filipinos arrived in Hawaii as recruited Filipino Plantation Laborers.  Since then, Filipinos and Filipinas continue to choose Hawaii as their home. They continue to participate, support, and add to Hawaii’s growing and changing Filipino and general community and culture. They continue to help in creating a unique group of Filipino Americans living in Hawaii.

The Filipino American National Historical Society-Hawai’i State Chapter (FANHS-HSC) invites you to join us as friends and members as we continue to work towards meeting our mission of, “promoting understanding, education, enlightenment, appreciation, and enrichment through the identification, gathering, preservation, and dissemination of the history and culture of Filipino Americans in the United States”. We appreciate your support of our mission. Through your membership, and ongoing social and financial support and donations, you are helping to promote the sharing of Hawaii’s Filipino American History with all who wish to learn about Hawaii’s evolving 113+-year-old Filipino American history and culture.

Your membership fees and financial donations will help to cover overhead costs, which FANHS-HSC generally aims to keep free to the public. Such overhead costs will include FANHS sponsored and co-sponsored community events (promotional/project materials and supplies, space rental, refreshments, and more). As a FANHS chapter, FANHS-HSC is a 501C3, non-profit group, and your membership fees and donations to FANHS-HSC are deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Members will also have access to FANHS’ Archives in Seattle, WA, and Museum in Stockton, CA. You will also receive FANHS- HSC’s newsletter, which will carry historical and current information for each island as they become available.

Thank you for your support, on-going membership, and much needed financial donations.
