About The Gary O. Galiher Foundation

Attorney Gary O. Galiher established The Gary O. Galiher Foundation in 2015 as a 501(c)(3) charitable trust to support social issues important to him.

​For almost 40 years, Gary had an outstanding legal career in Honolulu, Hawai`i.  He was a pioneer and stalwart advocate passionately working on behalf of vulnerable clients and advocating to improve the social, economic, cultural and political well-being of Hawai`i.  Gary was very grateful for the success he found both personally and professionally in the law.  Through his Foundation, he wanted to foster causes that he believed would enhance the lives of the people of Hawai`i.

​Gary died tragically in a helicopter accident in November 2016, but his Foundation continues to pursue the causes that were important to him.
