Kahua ʻĀina Micro-Grant Program offers $500 to $1,000 for ʻāina-based projects on Hawaiʻi Island

Seattle-based nonprofit Indigenous Just Transition is offering a funding opportunity through its Kahua ʻĀina Micro-Grant Program in support of grassroots ʻāina-based projects on Hawaiʻi Island.

Grants of $500 to $1,000 are available for Kānaka Maoli caring for the ʻāina and strengthening island communities.

Deadline to apply is Nov. 16, so don’t wait. Apply online now.

Projects can focus on:

• Restoring and protecting ʻāina and wai.
• Growing local food and strengthening food security.
• Reducing wildfire risk and building community resilience.

The hope is to reach people doing meaningful work who might not traditionally have access to funding opportunities.

No nonprofit affiliation or grant-writing experience is needed. People are encouraged to apply whether they’re just beginning a new project or continuing meaningful work already underway.
