FRIENDS OF HONOLULU CITY LIGHTS

Friends of Honolulu City Lights is a Hawaii-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 99-0349752) that fundraises and organizes community partnerships to support the annual Honolulu City Lights holiday celebration and related public events. The organization operates in partnership with the City and County of Honolulu to produce the month-long display, the Public Workers’ Electric Light Parade, ornament and merchandise programs, and a range of community-focused special nights and activities. In recent years the Friends have continued in an operational and fundraising role: producing annual commemorative ornaments and merchandise, securing corporate sponsorship tiers, and working with city organizers to stage opening-night programming and the parade. Most recently reported financials show modest annual revenues and assets consistent with a small, event-focused nonprofit that relies primarily on contributions, sponsorships and merchandise sales to cover production costs and keep the event free to the public.
