#HŌʻIHI

The Department of the Interior’s Office of Native Hawaiian Relations today announced $1 million in funding for Native Hawaiian Organizations through the Heritage Opportunities in Hawaiʻi grant program. The funding is made possible by the Native American Tourism and Improving Visitor Experience Act, which enables Indigenous communities to participate in national tourism goals and strategies.

The Department of the Interior’s Office of Native Hawaiian Relations estimates that it will award eight HŌʻIHI grants ranging between $50,000 and $200,000. Native Hawaiian Organizations may use grant funding for up to three years from the date of award.
