Investing in Hawaii Programs
The Hawaii Chapter of the March of Dimes funds programs that address the unmet needs of moms and babies in our local community. The Hawaii Chapter Community Grants Program is designed to invest in programs in Hawaii that further the March of Dimes mission to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.
To be eligible to receive a March of Dimes Hawaii Chapter grant, an organization must be an incorporated not-for-profit 501(c)(3) or for profit organization or government agency, and must provide services in the state of Hawaii. March of Dimes does not award grants to individuals. Hawaii Chapter Community Grants range from $5,000 to $20,000 for one year.
