Nonprofit Grants-in-Aid: Waiwai Grant Program | National Association of Counties Nonprofit Grants-in-Aid: Waiwai Grant Program 2022 NACo Achievement Award Winner Hawaii County, Hawaii, HI More Programs in Community and Economic Development All Awards for Hawaii County, Hawaii, HI Category: Community and Economic Development (Best in Category) The County of HawaiÊ»iâs Waiwai Grant Program provides, at minimum, $2,500,000 in various sized grants to qualified nonprofit organizations to carry out beneficial programs and services that serve a public purpose in improving the quality of life on HawaiÊ»i Island.
In Hawaiian, âwaiâ means fresh, drinking water, but repeated, âwaiwaiâ refers to the Native Hawaiian concept of assets, value, and wealth. To have an abundance of freshwater is the highest form of wealth and well-being, as water is life.
Therefore, the county considers its nonprofit organizations as assets that bring incredible value to residents through their respective programs by creating rippling effects of positive change throughout the community.
Propelled by the COVID-19 pandemic, the County of Hawaiʻi took the opportunity to modernize and optimize its processes and services through digitization, particularly the applications for its nonprofit grants-in-aid program, rebranded as the Waiwai Grant Program.
Among other updates made to the program, applicants were subject to a more straightforward process with the introduction of an online platform compared to previous years. In addition, following the completion of their Waiwai grant application, organizations will be able to demonstrate the ability to weave clear and compelling narratives for other grant opportunities.
