Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Hawaii Grants Supporting Homeless, Animal Welfare, Health, and Human ServicesHawaii's unique geography and demographics present distinct challenges for organizations addressing homelessness, animal welfare, health, and human services. The Foundation's grants aim to address these challenges by focusing on specific priority outcomes.The Hawaii Department of Human Services, particularly the Homeless Programs Office, is a key state agency working towards reducing homelessness. One of the primary priority outcomes for grants in Hawaii is to increase the availability of affordable housing units, thereby reducing the number of individuals experiencing homelessness. According to the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation, the state faces a significant shortage of affordable housing, with a need for over 64,000 units.Another priority outcome is to improve access to healthcare services for Native Hawaiians and other underserved populations. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs has highlighted the disparities in healthcare outcomes for Native Hawaiians, including higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. Grants that support culturally sensitive healthcare services and health education programs are likely to be a focus for the Foundation.The state's animal welfare organizations also face unique challenges due to Hawaii's geographic isolation. Priority outcomes for animal welfare grants may include reducing the number of stray animals, improving spay and neuter services, and enhancing disaster preparedness for animal shelters. The Hawaii Humane Society, a leading animal welfare organization, has emphasized the need for increased resources to address these issues.In terms of health and human services, the Foundation may prioritize grants that support substance abuse treatment programs, given the state's struggles with opioid addiction. The Hawaii Department of Health's Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division has identified substance abuse as a key area of concern, with a particular focus on addressing the needs of rural and hard-to-reach communities.The rural counties of Maui, Kauai, and Hawaii Island face distinct challenges in delivering health and human services due to their remote locations. Grants that support innovative service delivery models, such as telemedicine or mobile health units, may be a priority for the Foundation. For example, the Maui County grants have been used to support rural health initiatives, including mobile clinics and community health worker programs.To achieve these priority outcomes, the Foundation is likely to support grants that foster collaboration between organizations, leverage existing resources, and address the specific needs of Hawaii's diverse populations. Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate how their projects align with these outcomes and how they will contribute to meaningful change in Hawaii.## Measuring Success in HawaiiThe Foundation will likely measure the success of its grants in Hawaii through a variety of metrics, including the number of individuals served, the number of affordable housing units created or preserved, and improvements in health outcomes for target populations. Grantees may be required to report on these metrics regularly, providing data that will help the Foundation assess the impact of its investments.## Leveraging Additional ResourcesHawaii applicants may be able to leverage additional resources to support their grant proposals, including funding from other state agencies, such as the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, and federal agencies, such as the USDA, which provides grants for rural development and other purposes in Hawaii. Applicants should be aware of these opportunities and be prepared to describe how they will use Foundation grants in conjunction with other funding sources to achieve their goals.Q: What types of projects are most likely to be funded by the Foundation in Hawaii? A: Projects that address priority outcomes such as increasing affordable housing, improving access to healthcare for Native Hawaiians, and enhancing animal welfare services are likely to be a good fit.Q: How can applicants demonstrate their ability to measure and report on outcomes? A: Applicants should describe their data collection and reporting processes, including any existing metrics or evaluation frameworks they use, and explain how they will use this data to assess and improve their programs.Q: Can grants be used to support capital projects, such as building new facilities for homeless services or animal shelters? A: Yes, the Foundation may consider grants for capital projects that align with its priority outcomes and demonstrate a clear need and plan for sustainability.
