Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Hawaii's Emerging Visionaries
The Banking Institution's Grants To Support Young People that Transform their Community program is focused on empowering young Hawaiians to drive positive change in their communities. As an Emerging Visionary, these individuals will be recognized for their innovative solutions to financial and societal challenges. The priority outcomes for Hawaii's awardees are centered around addressing the state's unique needs and leveraging its distinct strengths.
Hawaii's Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT) has identified key areas of focus for the state's economic development, including diversifying the economy, promoting innovation, and supporting small businesses. The Emerging Visionary program aligns with these goals by supporting young people who are developing innovative solutions to the state's challenges. For instance, projects that focus on sustainable tourism, renewable energy, and native Hawaiian entrepreneurship are likely to be highly valued.
Measuring Success in Hawaii's Context
The success of the Emerging Visionary program in Hawaii will be measured by the impact of the projects supported. Key performance indicators (KPIs) may include the number of jobs created, the amount of funds leveraged, and the positive impact on the community. For example, a project that develops a new sustainable agriculture initiative on the Big Island, creating jobs and stimulating local economic growth, would be considered a success.
Hawaii's unique geography, with its diverse islands and rural communities, presents both opportunities and challenges. The state's rural areas, such as those found on the islands of Molokai and Lanai, face distinct challenges related to access to resources and infrastructure. Projects that address these challenges, such as innovative solutions for broadband access or community development initiatives, will be prioritized.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) plays a critical role in supporting native Hawaiian communities, and the Emerging Visionary program can complement OHA's efforts by supporting young native Hawaiians who are driving positive change. For example, a project that focuses on cultural preservation and native Hawaiian language education would be a strong fit.
Supporting Hawaii's Emerging Visionaries
To achieve the priority outcomes, the Banking Institution will provide funding of $15,000 to each Emerging Visionary. This funding can be used to support project expenses, such as staffing, marketing, and equipment. Additionally, the program will offer technical assistance and mentorship to awardees, connecting them with resources and expertise across the state.
Hawaii's congressional delegation has secured funding for various programs that support rural development, including USDA grants, which can be used in conjunction with the Emerging Visionary program. For instance, a project that develops a new community facility in a rural area could potentially leverage both USDA funding and Emerging Visionary funding.
Maui County has also been active in seeking grants to support local initiatives, demonstrating the potential for collaboration and leveraging of resources. Emerging Visionaries who are working on projects that align with Maui County's priorities, such as affordable housing or environmental conservation, may be able to access additional funding and support.
