What counts towards the goal?

A majority of the funds raised must come from in-person, direct solicitations of prospects.

Funds must be restricted to the Lehuaproject.

A maximum pledge period of two years will be allowed (i.e. from the date the pledge is made until it is paid in full).

What is the total project cost?

$1.25 million. Over the past four years, Kāhi Mōhala has worked diligently to secure two CDBG grants administered by the City & County of Honolulu, for the planning, design, permitting, and renovation of Lehua. Construction is expected to begin in summer 2011.

So far, $1.1 million in capital funding has been approved for Phase I and Phase II Lehua renovations from Federal CDBG grants through the City & Country of Honolulu. While Kāhi Mōhala has been very fortunate to secure these two grants, federal funds have restrictions that do not cover all project expenses.

Raising $75,000 from the Board of Trustees, hospital staff, foundations, businesses and community friends by December 31, 2011 is our goal in order to leverage the $75,000 Sutter Matching Grant Challenge for a total of $150,000.
