The application deadline for the County of Kauaʻi Grant-in-Aid program has been extended to 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 30.
The intent of the grant program is to provide benefits to the people of the County of Kauaʻi through services or activities that meet a distinct cultural, social, or economic need for which adequate federal or state funding cannot be secured.
Funding is available through four opportunities across the following categories:
- Establishing and administering new Community Emergency Response Teams, or CERT.
- There are two separate funding opportunities and potential grantees must submit separate applications for each of the funding opportunities.
- Providing assistance with damage assessment, search and rescue, and aerial public warning and notification.
- Supporting sheltering operations as part of Emergency Support Function 6: Mass Care and Human Services.
Eligible private or nonprofit organizations may apply for up to $10,000 each to establish new CERT programs, up to $10,000 for damage assessment, search and rescue, and aerial public warning and notification, and up to $50,000 to support refuge area and sheltering operations.
Proposals submitted will be reviewed and considered for funding. The Sept. 30 deadline is not a postmarked date, so proposals received after the deadline will not be considered.
Applicants will be notified of funding decisions on or around Oct. 1. The project funding period will run from Oct. 1, through June 30, 2027.
