Caring for our ‘Ohana
Giving Back to the Community
The Turtle Bay Foundation is committed to enriching the lives of the Koʻolauloa and North Shore communities by fostering a sustainable and thriving future for generations to come. The Foundation empowers youth and organizations with resources and support, focusing on Education and Job Training, Environmental Stewardship, Preservation of Historic and Modern Culture, Wellness, and Sports and Recreation. Through these pillars, the Foundation is dedicated to protecting the community’s natural heritage while promoting long-term well-being and resilience. By working together, the Turtle Bay Foundation strives to ensure a legacy of opportunity, strength, and vibrancy for the generations that follow.
Since its founding in 2012 as the philanthropic arm of The Ritz Carlton O‘ahu, Turtle Bay, the Foundation has awarded more than $1.1 million in scholarships and grants to support local students and community initiatives. By investing in O‘ahu’s youth and preserving the North Shore’s unique resources, the Turtle Bay Foundation strives to create lasting, positive change, empowering future leaders while honoring the past.
Our mission is to strengthen our Ko‘olauloa and North Shore communities by supporting scholastic, cultural, and environmental education.
Our vision is to inspire and cultivate a vibrant future for all with a focus on five important pillars within our community: Education and Job Training; Environmental Stewardship; Preservation of Historic and Modern Culture; Wellness; Sports and Recreation.
Our guest contribution program makes giving back to the North Shore community simple. Upon check-in, you can choose to give $1 per day during your stay. You can increase your donation or opt-out at any time.
