Puna Strong Grants Program Awards $380,000 to Nonprofit Organizations

May 4, 2021 at 5:15 am The County of Hawai‘i and Hawai‘i Community Foundation (HCF) announce the award of $380,000 to 26 organizations through the Puna Strong grants program. Puna Strong takes a community-based disaster management approach that values the knowledge and capacities of residents and builds on local resources. In addition to providing grants, the County and HCF will work with intermediaries in the community to assist with technical support, peer learning and network building among recipients. The County and HCF launched Puna Strong in January 2021 to assist with disaster readiness and community resilience, both strategies identified in the Kīlauea Recovery and Resilience Plan, following the 2018 Kīlauea eruption. It is supported by $250,000 from the County’s recovery funds and $130,000 from HCF’s Hawai‘i Island Volcano Recovery Fund, Hawai‘i Island Strong Fund and Anderson-Beck Fund.
