Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized faith-based or community health nonprofit with demonstrated work in Hawaii (or a close connection to the foundation’s existing partners) seeking modest general support.
Good Fit
- • Work or presence in Hawaii or a clear Hawaii-focused program.
- • Faith-based, school, or community-service mission similar to existing grantees.
- • Requests for modest general support in the foundation's historical gift size range (sub-$20K).
- • An introduction or relationship to current partners, trustees, or repeat grantees.
Geography
Grants in the latest year span three states, but giving is heavily concentrated in Hawaii (about 93% of dollars), so the footprint is multi-state in count but practically focused on one state.
Recipient Variety
Five distinct recipients were funded in 2023, including churches, a school, and larger charities; three were returning grantees and two were new, indicating a moderate but limited variety for a small foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation publicly states it only funds preselected partners and is not accepting new program applications, which limits open solicitation; however, two new recipients appeared in 2023, so occasional new entrants do get funded and full closure cannot be confirmed.
