Aloha! Ananda Fund Hawaii was founded in 2013. We are a donor advised fund of Hawaii Community Foundation. We wanted to do something creative that would allow us to discover local nonprofits. So we decided to launch our fund by offering a grant competition. If you work at the community level, we hope you'll consider entering the contest. Submit a video that tells us about your work and why your nonprofit could use $2,500. Check out our grant competition for details. Check our blog often for updates. Mahalo.
