Hawai‘i Community Foundation Grants (including CHANGE Grants)

About this program

Hawai‘i Community Foundation (HCF) provides a range of grants, scholarships, and initiative-specific funding to support nonprofit capacity building, community programs, education, health, environment, and disaster recovery across the Hawaiian Islands. Funding is offered through multiple programs (e.g., CHANGE Grants, health and wellness, scholarships, island-focused initiatives) tailored to address local needs and collective impact. Eligibility and application requirements vary by program but generally target Hawai‘i-based nonprofits, community organizations, and students, with some awards requiring fiscal sponsorship or program-specific qualifications; applicants must follow the posted guidelines, deadlines, and application process. HCF enforces a strict non-discrimination policy and encourages applicants to consult the grants calendar, FAQs, or local HCF staff for program details and assistance.
