Getting Started with KHF Field Trip Grants
Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports environmental education in the schools and communities of Hawaiʻi. Our Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation Field Trip Grant Assistance Program helps bring students to outdoor sites where they can experience hands-on learning about Hawaiʻi’s environment. Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation (KHF) offers financial assistance to Hawaiʻi schools which otherwise could not afford to participate in environmental field trips.
Details:
* Applications for the 2023-2024 school year open on May 1, 2023!

* Applications must be submitted at least two months prior to your field trip date. We encourage you to apply early in order to facilitate a smoother field trip planning process.
* Funding is limited to $1,000 per school per year and is awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.
