Elsie H. Wilcox Foundation Program Grants 2023 – Hawaii
The Elsie H. Wilcox Foundation is seeking applications to support programs that better the lives of individuals and families in the state of Hawaii with preference to Kauai Island.
Although the Distribution Committee gives priority to needs from qualified tax exempt 501 (c)(3) charitable organizations on the Island of Kauai, assistance is given to qualified organizations throughout Hawaii whose programs benefit a sizable number of people. The trust document provides the flexibility to permit use of income to meet changing requirements or needs.
The Trust is broad-purposed, it does not make grants to individuals, to endowments, for reserve purposes, or deficit financing; neither does it provide multiple-year funding.
In order to be successful in accomplishing its purposes, a charitable organization generally must have community and business support, rather than relying solely on foundations or government funding
For this reason the Distribution Committee pays particular attention to how active members of an organization’s Board of Directors carry out their responsibilities to the organization
In the interest of public causes, Elsie H. Wilcox Foundation prefers all directors make an annual financial contribution, at some level, to support the organization; in addition to participating in fundraising activities. Directors are also required to attend Board meetings, volunteer work when needed, and make significant efforts to gain community and business support.
School Participation
If the request for funding supports a program that involves school or classroom participation, the applying charity must provide a list of the schools that will be involved in the program along with a letter of support from the schools’ principals or teachers who have either committed or are interested in the program. The organization must also provide with an approximate number of students that will be involved and/or benefiting from the program.
Other Factors
Some other factors considered in reviewing a proposal are:
the community’s need for the proposed program or project in relation to other similar activities
reasonableness of the project’s income/expenditure budget
ability of the applicant to obtain entire funding and sustain the proposed project.
