Kaua'i County Opens Grant Applications for Nonprofits Up to $20,000
Kaua'i County's Office of the Mayor is accepting grant proposals for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 grants-in-aid program. Eligible nonprofits can apply for amounts up to $20,000. Applications are due by September 11, 2026.
The county's grant program specifically targets projects that fulfill unique cultural, social, or economic needs that cannot be covered by existing federal or state funding. Applications will be evaluated for potential project funding.
Interested organizations must submit proposals by 4:30 p.m. HST on September 11, with the deadline strictly enforced as a receipt date, not a postmark. Funding decisions are expected around September 28, with awards ranging up to $20,000.
This funding opportunity could provide essential support for local nonprofits addressing gaps in community services, particularly those focused on cultural preservation or social welfare. By offering up to $20,000, the county may enable smaller organizations to sustain operations or launch new initiatives that otherwise lack financial backing. The strict deadline and competitive review process may influence how nonprofits plan their fiscal year, potentially shaping the availability of local programs for residents in the coming year.
