Kuleana Charitable Giving

Kuleana Charitable Giving recommends small, one-time grants to 501(c)(3) non-profits on Oʻahu and Hawaiʻi Island to help make community spaces better places to learn, share, socialize and raise families. KCG is funded by donations from Hawaiʻi philanthropists who wish to remain anonymous. In the next decade, Kuleana Charitable Giving hopes to have played a part in making Hawaiʻi a better place for families to learn and grow.

Kuleana Charitable Giving will recommend grants to non-profits which match the values of keiki growth, learning, community building and community spaces. Grants range from $500 to $5,000 depending on the needs of the project. We typically select one grant per year. We have a rolling deadline. Projects should be completed in 12 months. Non-profits which receive grants may use them wherever they are needed most. In addition to photographs of the completed projects, informal grant reporting is requested 30 days after the project end date. Please contact us to request our most current forms, as they do change.

Community Volunteers are members of the community who offer their time to recommend non-profits whose current needs may be met by our grants. KCG recognizes that the time and manpower for planning projects, implementing events, and running publicity can be a factor for non-profits. If requested, Community Volunteers can be available to help your Project Leaders to develop their request, research needed materials or services, plan events, design fliers or write publicity. Volunteers also help KCG by taking informal photos to record the project.
