State Sen. Laura Acasio, who represents Hilo, announced in a press release that the organizations were chosen to receive grant-in-aid funds from the state Legislature. The four awardees will receive a total of more than $1.7 million.

The organizations awarded grand-in-aid funds and how much are as follows:
