Overview

Our Vision We envision an equitable and vibrant Hawai‘i where all of our island communities thrive. Our Mission We inspire generosity, advocate for equity, forge connections and invest in community to create a better Hawai‘i. Community Grants Program The Community Grants program provides project or program-based funding to nonprofit organizations benefitting the communities and people of Hawai‘i. We believe that those working closest to the people they serve are best informed of the needs and opportunities that exist through the connections and relationships that they build every day. Specific geographic funds established at the Hawai‘i Community Foundation support this program and are conducted in three different grant rounds throughout the year. Each grant round will have different fund priorities. Ka Papa O Kakuhihewa Fund The purpose of the fund is “to promote resource conservation programs for the community that would affect the use of natural resources such as water and land. The goal is to promote and support programs that create and instill a conservation ethic in our keiki and ‘ohana, an attitude that recognizes and respects living on an island of finite resources.”
