Recognizing the need to separate the Chamber's charitable functions, the Maui Filipino Chamber of Commerce Foundation was incorporated on Feb. 3, 2011. On May 18, 2011, the IRS granted the Foundation its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.

The Foundation's purposes are to promote and perpetuate Filipino culture and its customs, promote education and provide scholarships, and engage in charitable activities.
