A total of $100,000 in grant funding is available for West Maui through Maui County’s fiscal year 2027 budget, according to County Council member Tamara Paltin.

Eligible applicants include organizations seeking to support local initiatives that enhance quality of life, strengthen neighborhoods and respond to community-identified needs.

“We know that strong communities are built through the people and organizations who preserve our culture, create opportunities for local artists and businesses and bring neighbors together,” Paltin said in a news release. “I encourage West Maui organizations with ideas that strengthen our community, environment and local economy to apply so that we can help make these resources available where they are needed most.”

Paltin said those interested in applying should coordinate with her office.

Application forms are available through the Maui County Office of Economic Development’s grants program website at mauioed.submittable.com/submit. Applications are due Oct. 1 and are expected to take at least four weeks to process.

Paltin requested that applicants share copies with her at tamara.paltin@mauicounty.us.
