Which companies hire executive director of developments in Hawaii?

Hawaii's nonprofit and healthcare sectors, along with its university system and cultural institutions, are the most consistent sources of senior development leadership openings across the islands.
Which Hawaii cities have the most executive director of development jobs?
The cities with the most executive director of development openings in Hawaii are Honolulu, Lahaina, and Waikoloa. Honolulu dominates hiring because it is home to the largest concentration of nonprofit organizations, healthcare systems, and higher education institutions in the state, while Hilo and Maui County generate openings through regional hospital foundations, community nonprofits, and cultural organizations that rely on dedicated development leadership.
Are there remote executive director of development jobs in Hawaii?

The portions of the role most likely to be performed remotely include grant writing, donor research, and campaign planning, rather than frontline cultivation or event leadership.

The most realistic entry path is securing a development coordinator or development associate role at a Hawaii nonprofit or healthcare foundation, then building toward senior leadership over time. Institutions such as the University of Hawaii Foundation, Hawaii Community Foundation, and regional hospital foundations regularly hire entry-level development staff. Volunteering with Hawaii Community Foundation grant processes or completing an AFP Hawaii chapter mentorship program builds local credentials.
