• GIVING PROJECT: GIVING PROJECTS ARE CREATED FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES THAT WANT TO STRENGTHEN THEIR RELATIONSHIPS, SKILLS, UNDERSTANDING, LEADERSHIP, AND PURPOSE TO SUPPORT MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY BUILDING THAT IS GENUINELY IN SERVICE TO OUR STORIES, PLACES, AND PEOPLE. CENTERING THE INCREDIBLE WORK OUR GRASSROOTS CHANGEMAKERS ARE DOING IN COMMUNITY, THE GIVING PROJECT IS A CROSS-CLASS, MULTIRACIAL HUI OF 15-20 PEOPLE THAT COMMIT TO GATHERING IN SESSIONS OVER THE COURSE OF 6 MONTHS (2 SESSIONS PER MONTH). THROUGH THESE COLLABORATIVE SESSIONS, THE HUI CO-DEVELOPS A SHARED UNDERSTANDING OF HOW INJUSTICE, RACISM, CLASSISM, AND POWER PLAYS OUT IN HAWAI`I. EACH HUI MEMBER COMMITS TO MOVING MONEY TO GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH COMMUNITY-SOURCED GRANTS AND RELATIONSHIP BUILDING. THE HPF GIVING PROJECT FACILITATORS PROVIDE MEANINGFUL TOOLS, EXPERIENCES, AND RESOURCES, SUPPORTING PARTICIPANTS ALONG THE WAY, AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH GRANTEES, MAKE COLLECTIVE DECISIONS, AND PROVIDE COMMUNITY-RAISED RESOURCES TO INSPIRING SOCIAL CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT BUILDERS IN HAWAI`I.
