WAIMEA — The Aloha Grown Malama Honua Fund is once again giving away five $500 awards to local nonprofits, schools, organizations or initiatives on the Big Island that embody Aloha Grown’s philosophy: Support local. Sustain the aina. Share the aloha.
Aloha Grown is the brand sold at Parker Ranch store in Waimea.
Interested groups must complete an application form and write a one-page essay explaining how their organization follows Aloha Grown’s philosophy. Essays must include the organization’s mission and vision, along with the specific project, program and/or effort that the $500 award would be used to fund.
Aloha Grown is committed to supporting efforts to care for the island, people and culture. That is why 2 percent of every Aloha Grown sale goes to the Malama Honua Fund.
All submissions are due by Dec. 31. The five selected recipients of the 2016 Aloha Grown Malama Honua Fund Awards will be contacted by Jan. 31.
