COMMUNITY GRANTS

FY 2011 Grants Program

OHA grant funding will facilitate strategic partnering opportunities with community organizations with direct performance links to OHA’s Strategic Plan 2010 – 2016 as applicant organizations are asked to also align itself with one or more of OHA’s Strategic Priorities. All proposals for grants from OHA must describe how their program will achieve the results enumerated in the Plan, and how what they are proposing will make a difference and derive the results we hope to achieve in the lives of Native Hawaiians.

A grant request will be considered only if it aligns with OHA’s Strategic Plan 2010 – 2016, and applicant organizations are required to identify one or more of OHA’s Strategic Priorities of Ho‘okahua Waiwai (Economic Self-Sufficiency), ‘Äina (Land & Water), Mo‘omeheu (Culture), Mauli Ola (Health), ‘Ea (Governance), and Ho‘onaauao (Education), and one or more of the Strategic Results. The extent to which an organization is able to explain in its application how it intends to assist OHA in achieving these measurable results, will determine its success in securing funding.
