Mayor Kirk Caldwell said Tuesday his administration is accepting grant proposals for community projects.
The Mayor’s Office of Economic Development said it is looking for proposals for projects that will stimulate economic opportunities, strengthen Oahu’s diverse ethnic communities and improve residents’ quality of life.
Applicants may apply for a grant of up to $15,000. The deadline to submit proposals is 4 p.m. Dec. 16.
The grants are awarded to organizations in the City and County of Honolulu that are registered as nonprofits in the state. The Mayor’s Office said the grants are intended for partial funding of a project “as a means of encouraging collaboration with the community and local businesses.”
