The 2024 Arbor Day Hawaiʻi Grant, offered by Kaulunani, supports projects that emphasize the benefits of trees and foster community involvement across all Hawaiian islands. This grant aims to encourage activities such as community tree adoptions, tree care workshops, and other initiatives that promote the value of trees in local environments.
Applicants from all counties in Hawaiʻi are eligible to apply. The grant is open to organizations or groups that plan to engage communities through educational or hands-on activities related to tree planting, maintenance, and conservation. Proposals that include capacity-building elements like training on invasive species prevention or volunteer coordination will be given priority.
Funding amounts range from $3,000 to $5,000 per project. The grant duration is not specified but should align with the preparation for Arbor Day Hawaiʻi celebrations scheduled for November 2, 2024. This timeline encourages applicants to design projects that culminate around this date.
To apply, submit your proposal by July 15, 2024. Your application should clearly outline how your project will benefit the community and contribute to the goals of Arbor Day Hawaiʻi. Projects should demonstrate a commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement.
This grant offers an opportunity to enhance local awareness about trees' ecological and cultural importance while building skills within communities. Successful applicants will receive financial support to implement their projects and help celebrate Arbor Day across Hawaiʻi’s diverse landscapes.
