Opportunity Information: Apply for D25AS00271
The HOIHI Grant Program, managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Office of Native Hawaiian Relations (ONHR), provides funding to Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs) under the Native American Tourism and Improving Visitor Experience Act (NATIVE Act). The program aims to support economic development within the Native Hawaiian Community by promoting entrepreneurship, innovation, and new business growth centered around traditional knowledge and cultural practices.
Tourism in Hawaii has surged dramatically, putting pressure on natural and cultural resources, many of which are sacred to Native Hawaiians. The HOIHI Grant seeks to counter these impacts by encouraging regenerative tourism models that respect and preserve these resources while providing economic opportunities to Native Hawaiians.
Rooted in the Hawaiian value of "hoihi" (respect), the program supports projects that showcase Native Hawaiian heritage, revitalize cultural traditions, protect ancestral and sacred spaces, and offer visitors authentic, respectful experiences.
Eligible applicants must be nonprofit organizations that serve Native Hawaiians, have Native Hawaiians in leadership roles, and are recognized for their expertise in Native Hawaiian culture, heritage, and tourism.Apply for D25AS00271
