HONOLULU —Four Hawaii charities, including one on Kauai, were recently awarded grant funding from the Hawaii Life Charitable Fund.
Each year, the HLCF accepts grant applications from Hawaii-based nonprofits. The HLCF volunteer board of directors selects grant recipients based on the alignment of each request with the HLCF mission and annual giving focus. The HLCF mission is defined as “working to preserve Hawaii’s beauty and culture by supporting its people.”
“The four charities were chosen because their projects are in keeping with our mission and our current giving focus of caring for our keiki,” said Mealoha Kraus, chairman of the HLCF.
Each grant recipient received $5,000 to support their services and programming that assist children across the state.
The four 2018 HLCF grant recipients include Anaina Hou Community Park on Kauai to assist with their Discovery Island Playground project, a recreational and educational space where both adults and kids can learn together.
Others receiving funding included Friends of the Children Justice Center of East Hawaii, located on Hawaii Island; Grow Some Good, on Maui; and Surfrider Spirit Sessions on Oahu.
