Puna Strong is a grant program focused on disaster readiness and building community resilience for the Puna communities impacted by the 2018 Kīlauea eruption. With investments in nonprofit organizations and partnerships leading community-driven projects, the Puna Strong program is currently in its third round of funding to support 10 organizations over an 18-month period ending June 30, 2025.
The purpose of these Puna Strong Collaboration Grants is to foster collaboration among nonprofit organizations in the Puna area along with government agencies, community leaders, and/or for-profit entities. The aim is to build and enhance networking and collaborative capacities that lead to sustainable and impactful outcomes. This funding opportunity seeks to support initiatives that go beyond one-time events, focusing instead on programs or projects that promote long-term partnership building and resource sharing.

This funding opportunity is not limited to current Puna Strong Round 3 grantees; it is available to any 501(c)(3) organization that serves the Puna area. In the spirit of collaboration, only the lead application is required to be a 501(c)(3) organization.
