CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
This is a state-administered reimbursement grant, so funding is subject to Hawaii Legislature appropriations each biennium—availability can vary year to year.
Applicants can apply for one or both fiscal years in a biennium cycle, and can submit different projects per year, giving experienced applicants multiple bites. Grant amounts are fixed at $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000—not open-ended—so competition is structured around those tiers.

WORTH KNOWING
This is a reimbursement grant—you spend the money first and get paid back—so make sure your organization has the cash flow to front project costs before applying.
