About the company
Changemakers Community Economic Development Corporation is a Hawaii-based, tax-exempt community development corporation registered with SAM.gov and headquartered in Hilo serving as a minority-owned, Native Hawaiian organization and woman-owned business. The organization operates as a Native CDFI (Community Development Financial Institution) focused on fostering stable, diversified local economies in underserved rural areas through community facility development and business assistance initiatives. As a prime federal grant awardee, Changemakers delivers technical assistance, training services, and economic development support to rural communities in Hawaii, leveraging multiple federal funding sources to strengthen infrastructure and build institutional capacity in economically disadvantaged regions.
Changemakers Community Economic Development Corporation has successfully executed four federal grant awards across multiple funding agencies, demonstrating extensive experience in rural economic development and Native American business support. The organization received a $150,000 Community Facilities Technical and Training Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (CFDA 10.766) in September 2022, which supported two years of technical assistance and training services for community facilities improvements in Hilo through September 2024. More recently, Changemakers secured funding from the Rural Business Cooperative Services for an RBDG Rural Business Cooperative Rural Enterprise Grant awarded in September 2025, extending through September 2027, supporting cooperative business development in rural areas. The Administration for Native Americans has also been a significant funding partner, awarding the organization grants for the AinaPreneur Small Business initiative (July 2024 through June 2027) and a Native CDFI development project (September 2022 through September 2025) specifically focused on establishing community facility funds and comprehensive development assistance. These awards collectively reflect Changemakers' core mission of providing technical assistance, training, small business support, and community facility development services to Native Hawaiian and rural populations in Hawaii.
