UH Center on the Family awarded faith-based grant
Advertiser Staff
The UH Center on the Family's Hawai'i Moving Forward project — which works with grass roots, community service and faith-based organizations — won a grant for $500,000 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's Compassion Capital Fund, part of President Bush's faith-based initiatives.The third grant is smaller than previous awards. The center was given $1.8 million in 2002; in 2003, it was given $950,000. And Hawai'i Moving Forward is one of only 10 programs nationwide that were funded in 2006.
Public information meetings for organizations interested in participating in certain programs will be conducted in January and applications will be made available. Capacity-building workshops are also being planned.
