Q.)

 I have a project in mind. How do I apply for support?

A.)

 A first step for every project is to contact the Center to talk about what you want to do. Keep in mind, we only support and sponsor projects beneficial to our North Kohala community and highly value projects that will bring the community more closely together. Within that framework there are literally an untold number of opportunities to make great contributions to the community, and we’ll work with you to focus your planning, make sure there is a real need for the project you want to do, and explain how to complete a one page application which our Board will review. If approved, we’ll sign a brief contract for fiscal sponsorship that allows you as project organizer to receive grants or donations that require a 501(c) 3 nonprofit status. If not approved, we’ll say clearly why, and you can reapply at any time.Our application guidelines can be downloaded here, and are available at our office. We find talking with our staff before you apply saves a lot of time and helps get the project clearly defined early on.
