Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize Hawaii-based nonprofits (especially Kauai/Hawaii programs) working in health, education, scholarships, community infrastructure, or faith-based services seeking one-time or single-year grants in the mid-five-figure range.
Good Fit
- • Programs or capital needs located in Hawaii, especially Kauai.
- • Health-related projects (medical equipment, clinics) or education scholarships and college partnerships.
- • Project budgets in the ~$25K–$100K range.
- • Ability to submit materials by mail and meet a stated December 1 deadline.
- • Local partnerships, referrals, or prior local visibility.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Hawaii (about 87% of 2024 dollars) with only one other state appearing; the observed footprint is essentially local to the Hawaiian islands.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 8 distinct recipients in 2024 (10 in 2023), spanning health, education, churches and community organizations, which indicates a moderate spread of independent grantees for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists (four new recipients in 2024) and filings include application instructions and a December 1 deadline plus a PO Box and phone contact, so unfamiliar local applicants appear plausibly able to apply.
