Kapapahuliau Grant Program is sponsored by U.S. Department of the Interior, Office of Native Hawaiian Relations (ONHR).
Named for the imagery of navigating changing winds and currents on a Hawaiian voyaging waʻa (canoe), the Kapapahuliau Grant Program aims to promote greater self-determination and self-sufficiency within the lāhui as they work to reduce the impacts of adverse weather events on their community, utilizing traditional Native Hawaiian knowledge.
Through this support, the program promotes the self-sufficiency, self-determination, and self-reliance of the Native Hawaiian Community and their lands. Projects supported by the grant will address critical issues such as drought, wildfires, invasive species, storm-related flooding, tidal inundation, and erosion mitigation, while also considering the associated economic impacts.
While not explicitly focused on justice-involved youth mentoring, projects that build workforce capacity and resilience within the Native Hawaiian community could be relevant.

Congress rescinded $850 million, NTIA canceled Round 3, and what remains is a $53 million final round pointed at AI-native radio access networks — with a $25 million per-project ceiling, a mandatory 50 percent cost share, and rolling awards beginning this fall.
Read articleA new Interior Department policy routes every grant and cooperative agreement of $50,000 or more through two political appointees for manual review. The result is a backlog of roughly 1,400 grants and $362 million in delayed funding — up from fewer than 10 two years ago.
