We ask that you provide as much information about your project and organization as possible. You may also attach pamphlets, news articles, etc. to make it clear how your organization will or has benefited the community. You should also explain how your present project furthers your organization’s purpose and who it benefits. It is also helpful to describe your organization’s government, non-profit or other community partners and how your organization works with these other entities. The Community Support Program committee will review your application and will notify your organization via mail and/or e-mail if your application has been approved or disapproved.
If your application is approved, your shipments will be shipped at the owner’s risk and on a space-available basis. Your organization will be assessed wharfage charges (a State of Hawaii fee on all shipments).
Future requests will be reviewed under our most recent guidelines and based upon the changing needs of the situation.
