“It is important that we hear directly from those who have applied for GIAs,” said Sen. Inouye, “so we have a clear picture of what their needs are. I want to thank Senators Dela Cruz and Keith-Agaran for being available to come to Hawai‘i Island.”
State Grant-in-Aid offers funding to non-profits for capital improvement projects or operational expenses.
