Aloha Kapi’olani CC Ohana,
The Paul S. Honda International Center would like to thank you for your continued support of our campus AUW campaign. This is the last “official” week of the 2022 Oahu AUW Campaign but donations will still be accepted even after the October 7th deadline on the Ignite platform. For payroll deductions, the deadline is November 11, 2022, so there is still time to donate!
The last topic I will be sharing with you is AUW’s Community Care Fund.
Unlike Safety Net, the Community Care Fund allows AUW to quickly allocate resources when the unexpected strikes. Heavy rainfall, property loss, disaster that strikes suddenly is what the Community Care Fund was made for. This fund is flexible and allows AUW to tap into our extensive network and identify the agencies best suited to respond given the specific needs. The Community Care Fund is also available at any time, so there are no deadlines or time lines. When the need strikes, Aloha United Way can spring into action and get funds to the best organizations and do it quickly.

Funding requests should be well supported by data on the specific number of students who will benefit from the project. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Office of Institutional Effectiveness for data on the number of students the proposed project will support. Institutional reports and other useful information is available at the OFIE website – https://www.kapiolani.hawaii.edu/ofie/
Tip #2 – Contact your department chair if you’re interested in applying.
Internal reviews are recommended to be completed by next Tuesday, February 1st, to allow for enough time for the required signatures from your department chair/dean and the fiscal officer.
