Ideal Applicant
A Hawaii-based nonprofit (especially on Oʻahu) seeking general operating support, event sponsorship, disaster relief, education or health-related funding and comfortable with modest-to-mid-sized awards.
Good Fit
- • Organization has an active program or presence in Hawaii (Oʻahu focus).
- • Request is for general operating support, event sponsorship, membership or disaster-relief work.
- • Request size falls in the small to mid-five-figure range or lower (many grants are under $10K).
- • Ability to demonstrate local impact or community involvement.
- • Willingness to submit a brief mailed letter and provide a clear description of the activity.
- • Existing local reputation or a referral from a community partner increases likelihood of consideration.
Geography
Observed giving is almost entirely to Hawaii, concentrated in Honolulu/Oʻahu; only minimal out-of-state activity appears in the filings.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded many independent recipients in the latest year (49 distinct grantees and 64 grants in 2023) with a mix of new and returning organizations, indicating broad recipient variety for its size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows 23 new recipients in 2023 (about 47% of that year’s recipients), and a public application route (website plus mailed letter instructions and a rolling deadline) is available, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
