Hawaiʻi County is inviting eligible nonprofits and their partners to apply for the Kīlauea Recovery Grant Program.  

In total, $6 million in funding is available to support community resilience and revitalization in Lower Puna during this next round of funding, with applications available on Sept. 15 and due at 4 p.m. Nov. 14. Established following the 2018 Kīlauea eruption, the program has provided nearly $6.9 million to date in investments across the disaster-impacted area.

This year, the County will prioritize capital improvement and economic revitalization projects, representing half and one-third of funds to be awarded.

Additional projects that support recovery and long-term resilience in alignment with the Kīlauea Recovery & Resilience Plan are also eligible for consideration with remaining funds. Funding is available for up to $500,000 per proposed project and must serve the communities of Lower Puna.
