Public Health Fund Grants Awarded in 2012
Chamber’s Public Health Fund
Supporting Non-Profits and Improving Our “Quality of Life”Grants were given to the following organizations for the projects listed in the second half of 2012.
Twice a year, The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii as the trustee of the Public Health Fund (PHF), awards numerous non-profits in the City & County Honolulu, grant money to support their health-related programs, projects and services.
Although voluntary contributions to the fund ended in 1950, and it has never been supported by membership dues, the PHF remains viable and continues to provide invaluable support to programs that help educate our community and local families on how to stay healthy, along with services that offer much needed resources to those in need.
In 2012, the Chamber through the recommendations of its Public Health Fund Committee, awarded over $100,000 in grants to numerous organizations for their various programs that help to promote public health education, research and resources for which funds are not generally available from other sources.
