OHA community grants program provides opportunities for Native Hawaiians in 2011
HONOLULU – The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) Community Grants program commences on July 1, 2010 for the 2011 fiscal year. “In the midst of tough economic times, OHA is pleased that it is still able to continue to financially support the community through its grants program. OHA’s 2010-2016 Strategic Plan will help us focus our efforts to get the maximum impact from the monies we expend in our quest to serve Native Hawaiians,” expressed OHA’s Chief Executive Officer Clyde Nämu‘o.
For the past decade, OHA has provided the community with millions of dollars through its various grant programs. These programs have been a part of OHA’s unwavering commitment to bettering the lives of Native Hawaiians.
“We look forward to another year of supporting community organizations statewide that are committed to making a difference in the lives of Native Hawaiians,” said OHA Chairperson S. Haunani Apoliona. “Collaborations and partnerships with non-profit service providers throughout the state are crucial to our mission of building a thriving Hawaiian community.”
Programs that will address immediate community needs and lay foundations for long-term capacity building of organizations are encouraged to apply for funding. OHA’s 2010-2016 Strategic Plan will be the guide for applicants to develop activities, events, projects, and programs that are directly linked to strategic priorities and results.
Information and training sessions will be conducted statewide to assist applicants on how to apply for funding. For more information on workshops or to obtain an application, please visit http://www.oha.org or call 594-1961.
