Thank you for your interest to apply for a County of Hawai‘i nonprofit grant. We strongly advise

must be submitted with your application, as well as the Application itself. It is your responsibility to be in full compliance. Failure to do so may result in the disqualification of your application. Be aware that a new requirement implemented last year is that you will be required to enroll with
Hawai‘i Compliance Express, and be compliant prior to receiving final payment. To register, go to
http://vendors.ehawaii.gov, complete the easy step-by-step process, and pay the annual registration
fee online using a credit card.
Pursuant to Chapter 2, Article 25, of the Hawai‘i County Code relating to appropriation of funds to
nonprofit organizations, the County of Hawai‘i is soliciting grant applications from qualified

This application is based upon performance measurement systems used throughout the nation and in local government. By using performance indicators, the County will be able to examine how well programs are meeting the purposes they intended to fulfill, and determine whether continuous
improvement is being made in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
