Funds available for projects

The Aloha Grown Malama Honua Fund is once again giving away five $500 awards to area nonprofits, schools, organizations or initiatives on the Big Island that embody Aloha Grown’s philosophy to “Support Local. Sustain the Aina. Share the Aloha.”

Interested groups must complete an application form and write a one-page essay explaining how their organization follows Aloha Grown’s philosophy. Essays must include the organization’s mission and vision, along with the specific project, program and effort that the $500 award would be used to fund.

All submissions are due by March 31. The five selected recipients of the 2014 awards will be contacted by April 30.
