In our inaugural 2025-2026 year:
a) we will provide grants to four non-profits throughout the islands of Hawaiʻi. Each non-profit within one of our focus areas: Culture, Land Sustainability, Education, and the Arts.
b) we will provide a professional development / mental health course to non-profit leaders in Hawaiʻi focusing on supporting their needs.
