## Objectives

The Kapapahuliau Grant Program, authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act (P.L. 117-169, Title VIII Sec. 80002), provides funding to Native Hawaiian Organizations to leverage traditional Native Hawaiian knowledge in enhancing response and resilience to adverse weather events and subsequent environmental impacts. The activities funded by this program aim to promote the self-sufficiency, self-determination, and self-reliance of the Native Hawaiian Community and their lands. Projects supported by the grant will address various issues such as drought, wildfires, invasive species, storm-related flooding, tidal inundation, and erosion mitigation, while also considering the associated economic impacts.
