to keep on, continue, persevere, last, add a little more
Leaning into trust-based philanthropy practices and the incredible abundance that continues to bless our ʻohana, HPF extended 24 continuation grants to grassroots huis who have proven year over year their work towards long-lasting social change in our communities. We recognize the incredible work our partners do to advance justice in our communities, and also recognize our own kuleana to help to build capacity and sustain the general operations of Hawaiʻi-based grassroots organizations who have a proven track record of challenging systems of oppression as an HPF grantee. Theyʻve shown UP, again and again, and we are honored to support these fierce huis and the powerful force for change they are in Hawaiʻi!
