Eligible Projects
The Office of Economic Development (OED) provides grants for programs, projects, and events that promote and nurture sustainable economic development within Maui County, consistent with the community’s needs and priorities. Projects must show a direct benefit to Maui’s economy through activities in priority target areas, including small business promotion, technology in business, culture, arts, tourism management, film industry, environmental and renewable energy, sports, and events. Specific criteria include the overall benefit to the people of Maui County, the population served, and the impact on Maui communities. These funds are intended to be a catalyst for economic growth and capacity building of local organizations towards economic self-sufficiency, not for long-term dependence on County funding.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligible applicants include for-profit organizations incorporated under the laws of the State of Hawaii, as well as non-profit organizations determined to be exempt from federal income tax by the Internal Revenue Service. All applicants must be in good standing with the State and Federal government and are required to provide necessary documents. These documents include a certificate of vendor compliance, DCCA annual filing, IRS W-9, a current financial statement, a list of the current Board of Directors, a corporate resolution, and a certificate of liability insurance.
