The Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) has awarded $900,000 in funding to 30 community-based organizations through the end of the year as part of its Kūkulu Ola program, as part of its commitment to supporting and strengthening Native Hawaiian culture by providing genuine experiences for residents and visitors statewide.
“These organizations are advancing Native Hawaiian culture through education, stewardship and cultural practice,” said Caroline Anderson, interim president and CEO of HTA. “Kūkulu Ola supports their work to strengthen connections to place and help residents and visitors better understand the culture and values that define Hawaiʻi.”
The Kūkulu Ola program is administered in partnership with Kilohana, a division of the Hawaiian Council (formerly named the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement). Thirty organizations were selected for their ability to perpetuate Hawaiian cultural practices, provide educational programming, preserve cultural sites and build community pride. Many of the funded projects offer intergenerational learning opportunities, mentor emerging cultural leaders and present authentic experiences that are accessible to both residents and visitors.
