The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center awarded a $749,796 Cooperative Agreement to Huliauapa A, a Native Hawaiian Organization and non-profit, under the Native Hawaiian Climate Resilience Program (CFDA 15.098). The funding supports a 5-year project period from June 2024 to June 2029. Through this award, Huliauapa A will deliver services focused on cultural preservation, community service, environmental conservation, and youth development programs that integrate traditional Hawaiian knowledge with scientific approaches to address climate change impacts in Native Hawaiian communities across Hawaii. Key project activities include restoring traditional agricultural systems, developing climate resilience training, protecting coastal ecosystems, and creating youth leadership opportunities in environmental stewardship. This federal grant award enables Huliauapa A to continue its mission of supporting Native Hawaiian communities through collaborative partnerships and prime federal grants.
