About HCTF Grantmaking:
Grantmaking under the Hawaiʻi Children’s Trust Fund is guided by the priorities identified by the HCTF Coalition. The Advisory Committee takes these discussions and coordinates one or more focus areas that would guide the development of a Request for Proposals. The Advisory Board, as directed by the Advisory Committee, finalizes the focus area, and makes recommendations to the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation regarding the development of the Request for Proposals as well as the timeline of the grantmaking cycle.

There are three funding opportunities for the 2024 Hawai‘i Children’s Trust Fund programming. We hope that this opportunity finds organizations with strong alignment to the goals of the fund and the criteria developed by the HCTF Coalition of stakeholders and the HCTF Advisory Committee members.
