Ed and Lynn Hogan
are the founders of Pleasant Holidays, the largest tour
operator serving Hawaii. With the assets from the sale
of Pleasant Holidays, they created the Hogan Family
Foundation in October 1998. With more than 40 years
of success in the travel and tourism industry, the Hogans
established the Foundation to pursue their philanthropic
interests. Rather than retiring, the Hogans have focused
all of their energies and interest into opportunities
wherein they can give back to the society in which they
have worked and lived. By operating educational, humanitarian
and civic-minded programs, the Foundation is creating
environments where the spirit of entrepreneurialism
can flourish and encourage a more productive and contributory
society.

Serving
as an inspiration for young people everywhere
the Hogan legacy will be that, through courage
and compassion, there is nothing that cannot be
achieved.
The
Hogan Family Foundation is not a grant foundation.
It is an operating foundation and works within
the guideline that it disburses its assets solely
in support of those programs that the Foundation
itself creates and operates. While unable to give
grants to charitable organizations, the Foundation
instead creates ongoing programs that support
worthwhile causes. The Foundation is able to accept
contributions of funds specifically designated
for its programs.
The
Foundation is a tax-exempt private operating foundation
under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code. |
