THINK Fund at Hawaii Community Foundation
THINK Fund at Hawaii Community Foundation
Innovation and exploration have been characteristics of Hawai‘i throughout history. The first Polynesians who populated these islands were at the forefront of science and technology for their times, designing and sailing canoes and navigating by the stars in search of new land and new opportunities. Our recent and future endeavors promoting a fertile environment for science and technology represent continuations of this long tradition.
As a member of the growing high-tech economy in Hawai‘i, the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) International Partnership has made a commitment to support science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education on Hawai‘i Island. As one of the greatest equalizers, education can also strengthen our workforce and economy so that families and communities thrive. The TMT created The Hawaii Island New Knowledge (THINK) Fund at Hawai‘i Community Foundation in October 2014 to provide grants, scholarships and community leadership to further this purpose.

KRHCAI one of 168 non-profits to receive Hawaii Community Foundation Flex Grant
Hawaii Community Foundation’s FLEX grant program donated $4.2 million to nonprofits in 2014
Lorin Eleni Gill, Reporter, Pacific Business News (modified slightly by KRHCAI to report grant receipt).
KRHCAI receives grant to help support Ka’u Rural Health Academy Educational programs.
“The Hawaii Community Foundation’s FLEX grant program gave approximately $4.2 million to 168 nonprofit organizations statewide this year.
As its name suggests, the two-year-old FLEX program provides grants that can be spent flexibly, for expenses such as operating and program costs or salaries. Traditionally, grants and donations often come with restrictions or expiration dates.
The nonprofits selected for FLEX grants were deemed “high-performing” organizations by the foundation. Funding was given to nonprofits in good financial standing, those that demonstrated how they are meeting important community needs, and those that provided evidence of their effectiveness.
“In 2014, over half of the grantees reported that the FLEX grant helped their organization to significantly increase their responsiveness to the community and improve the effectiveness of their programs,” said Kelvin Taketa, president and CEO of the Hawaii Community Foundation. “The recognition that their organizations are high-performing based on the criteria has been a real morale boost as well.”
Last year, 176 local nonprofits shared $2.9 million during the first round of FLEX funding.
National surveys show that nonprofit organizations rate unrestricted funds as one of the most useful types of donations. Taketa told PBN that he expects the FLEX program to grant more than $4.5 million in 2015, and HCF is seeking more donors to grow the program.
Current contributors to the FLEX program include the Omidyar Ohana Fund, Group 70 Foundation, and the Ewa Beach Community Fund.
Community-based groups, fiscally sponsored projects and public or charter schools are also eligible to apply.

At the time of the meeting, to avoid echo and delay in audio:
Anyone who is using a computer to connect to SCOPIA for video only and will be using a phone or conference phone for audio via phone (808)432-9090, extension 64110#, should;
- Mute the computer microphone. Audio will be handled through the phone.
- Turn off the computer speakers. Audio will be handled through the phone.
- Mute the telephone microphone when not speaking.
Those who are using only computers to connect to SCOPIA should;
- Mute the audio when not speaking.
- Ensure that the speakers are not so loud that the speaker sound is picked up by the microphone. A way to avoid this problem altogether with the microphone/speaker looping is to use a headset with a microphone. If not, reduce the volume and reduce the microphone sensitivity.
