Thank you for your interest to apply for a County of Hawai‘i nonprofit grant. We strongly advise
that you carefully review the Nonprofit Grants Program Submittal Checklist for FY 2018-19, which
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 you will be required to enroll with Hawai‘i Compliance Express, and be compliant prior to
receiving any payment. Note that this is changed from prior years where compliance was required
only for 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.
Regardless of the postmark date, your application, along with all of the required supporting
documentation, must be submitted to and received by the Department of Finance’s Administration,
