McInerny Foundation

The McInerny Foundation is one of the largest charitable foundations in the State of Hawai‘i. Its funds originated from the estates of twin brothers, William and James McInerny, and their older sister, Ella McInerny, whose wealth was generated in large part by a distinguished clothing establishment in the city of Honolulu. 

General Capital

Policy

Grants are provided for small capital projects, equipment, or renovations with total costs of less than $500,000.  

Fields of Interest

• Arts & Culture
• Community
• Education
• Environment
• Health
• Human Services

General Capital requests are for projects or equipment having a total cost under $500,000; however at the discretion of the foundation’s grants administrator, projects or purchases of certain values and scope may be treated aslarge capital projects and subject to the guideline criteria for large capital. (There are separate guidelines for Major Capital requests with total project costs of $500,000 or more.)   

Currently there are NO deadlines dates when submitting grant proposals for General Capital support. The Distribution Committee normally has four meetings during its fiscal year to consider grant requests.   

• General Capital grants are provided for FF&E (furniture, fixtures, & equipment), renovations and/or small construction projects of buildings. Projects requiring permits must be filed PRIOR to submitting a grant application. 
• Generally, the Foundation prefers to be one of several contributors, expecting the organization to acquire needed funds from several sources to assure the project is completed at a specific time and/or in a timely manner.
• In the interest of public causes, McInerny Foundation has long required that all (100%) board of directors of an organization make a personal annual financial contribution, at some level, to the support of the organization; in addition to participating in fundraising activities. Directors are also required to attend Board meetings, volunteer work when needed, and make significant efforts to gain community and business support.

Some other factors considered in reviewing a proposal are:

• the community’s need for the proposed project in relation to other similar activities
• reasonableness of the project’s income/expenditure budget
• ability of the applicant to obtain entire funding and complete the proposed project.

Background

We empower courageous leaders and visionary artists who make a positive impact in their communities and inspire others to change the world.

Principles Guiding Our Grantmaking

The Gerbode Foundation supports projects that:

• Inform and empower communities by utilizing all forms of media and communication tools to advance truth;
• Advocate at the local, state or federal level for policy changes that improve social and economic outcomes for communities most in need;
• Mobilize action to change existing policies and practices that perpetuate inequality or discrimination; and
• Leverage key public, private, and philanthropic stakeholders in collaborations or coalitions that strengthen communities.

We look for organizations that are led by exceptional leaders, are fiscally sound, and have the potential to leverage our investment with other resources. We also maintain our founder’s entrepreneurial and pioneering spirit by looking for new opportunities to innovate, using unconventional approaches whenever appropriate.

The grants generally range from $2,500 to $100,000, depending on the scope of the project, whether it clearly fits within the Foundation’s programmatic priorities, and other internal factors that influence our funding decisions. An average size grant is $25,000.

Program Areas

• Advancing Truth
  • Truth is power. Gerbode seeks to elevate the voices of truth to counter misinformation.
  • We look to partner with organizations that use media and new technologies as tools to inform and engage the public on critical issues, as well as influence change in current policies and practices that cause harm to individuals, communities and our environment.
  • We are interested in supporting community leaders who are courageous truth tellers and can inspire passion for change, and we embrace authentic and diverse viewpoints, narratives, and solutions that have the potential to alter culture, policy and behavior.
• Justice
  • Gerbode is deeply committed to advancing justice for populations that are currently experiencing trauma and persecution due to factors including the color of their skin, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, language spoken, or religious beliefs.
  • We believe in the importance of community-driven strategies and other appropriate approaches, including the critical power of collaboration across communities, sectors, and institutions, as key ingredients of positive social change.
• Environment
  • Gerbode seeks to use its resources to heal the relationship between people and the earth.
  • We value the role that communities play in addressing conservation, preservation, and quality of life concerns ranging from the quality of our air, water, and oceans to the preservation of open space and other natural resources.
  • We seek to elevate the issues of environmental justice, which includes access to healthy food, transportation, and safe and healthy neighborhoods.
  • And, we believe in the importance of strategic community planning to ensure that the public sector develops appropriate and effective plans, policies, and procedures to address important urban concerns that result in strong, diverse, and culturally vibrant neighborhoods.
• Arts
  • The Special Awards in the Arts Program supports the creation of new works in dance, theater production, and music composition.
  • These nationally respected awards have helped underwrite acclaimed new works that are culturally and aesthetically diverse, by prominent and emerging artists.
  • These grants have supported artists at critical junctures in their careers; enabled nonprofit local arts groups to develop and debut substantial, original works; and enriched Bay Area audiences, readers, and viewers by giving them first access to ambitious new creations.

Guidelines

Grants from National Trust Preservation Funds (NTPF) are intended to encourage preservation at the local level by supporting on-going preservation work and by providing seed money for preservation projects. These grants help stimulate public discussion, enable local groups to gain the technical expertise needed for preservation projects, introduce the public to preservation concepts and techniques, and encourage financial participation by the private sector.

A small grant at the right time can go a long way and is often the catalyst that inspires a community to take action on a preservation project. Grants generally start at $2,500 and range up to $5,000. The selection process is very competitive.

Eligible Activities

National Trust Preservation Fund grants are awarded for planning activities and education efforts focused on preservation. Grant funds can be used to launch new initiatives or to provide additional support to on-going efforts.

Planning: Supporting existing staff (nonprofit applicants only) or obtaining professional expertise in areas such as architecture, archaeology, engineering, preservation planning, land-use planning, and law. Eligible planning activities include, but are not limited to:

• Hiring a preservation architect or landscape architect, or funding existing staff with expertise in these areas, to produce a historic structure report or historic landscape master plan.
• Hiring a preservation planner, or funding existing staff with expertise in this area, to produce design guidelines for a historic district.
• Hiring a real estate development consultant, or funding existing staff with expertise in this area, to produce an economic feasibility study for the reuse of a threatened structure.

About George Wilcox

George Norton Wilcox, the son of missionaries Abner and Lucy E. (Hart) Wilcox, was born in Hilo, Hawaii on August 15, 1839. He was educated at Punahou School on Oahu and graduated from Sheffield Scientific School (Yale) in New Haven, Connecticut.

A progressive sugar planter and industrial builder, Wilcox began his career growing sugar at Hanalei, Kauai in 1863. A year later he went to Grove Farm plantation, of which he eventually became owner. His scientific training made him a leader in improving living condition and developing natural resources on Kauai. He was instrumental in planning water systems for irrigation and household purposes and bringing electricity, telephone and ice service to the island.

Wilcox also had a distinguished career in public service. A representative for Kauai, he served as a member of every legislature from 1887 until annexation of the Islands in 1898.

A philanthropist, Wilcox’s interests centered largely around religious and educational work. In 1916, he created a trust to build the Salvation Army Home for Boys. Before he died in 1933, he amended the trust to serve a broader scope of purposes.

Upon her death in 1989 at the age of 73, The Laura Jane Musser came into being to continue on with some of her interests in life, including the arts and helping children, as expressed in the guidelines.Rural Arts ProgramGeneral Operating Support Program In recognition of Laura Jane Musser's life-long commitment to excellence in the arts, and with awareness that pivotal and life-changing experience can occur for individuals through introduction to and participation in the arts, the Laura Jane Musser Fund hopes to encourage and excite a wider population to appreciate, learn, and participate in the arts.  The Musser Fund hopes to assist nonprofit arts organizations in rural communities to develop, implement or sustain exceptional artistic opportunities for adults and children in the areas of literary, visual, music, and performing arts.

Environmental Initiative Program

The Laura Jane Musser Fund assists public or not-for-profit entities to initiate or implement projects that enhance the ecological integrity of publicly owned open spaces, while encouraging compatible human activities. 

The Fund's goal is to promote public use of open space that improves a community's quality of life and public health, while also ensuring the protection of healthy, viable and sustainable ecosystems by protecting or restoring habitat for a diversity of plant and animal species.

The Laura Jane Musser Fund encourages the use of a community-based approach with broad and active local stakeholder participation in both planning and implementation stages of projects concerning the environmental preservation and sustainable use of public open spaces. It has been our experience that projects designed through this process have a greater chance of acceptance and lasting success.

• Planning (UP to $8,000)

Grants are intended to support and strengthen new or existing programs offered by 501(c)(3) organizations. Preference is given to programs that serve young people between the ages of 10 and 24.

Programs should focus on at least one or more of the following:

• Career exploration and career connected learning experiences
• Mentorships
• Soft skills, critical thinking, empowerment, job training and leadership development
• Advanced degree or Career and Technical Certification or preparation and support

Funding

The Alaska Airlines Foundation generally provides grants ranging from $5,000 to $20,000. Many of our grants will be on the lower side of that range in the first few years of our new criteria, to help us develop and learn from our partnerships. The average grant will be based on the number of young people served, geographic reach, organizational capacity, size of operating budget, demonstrated impact, and specific program budget.

Funds should be spent within one year of grant award.

In all cases, the project budget should show reasonable per client costs and no more than 50% of the request can be designated for either general operating costs or staff salaries. The funds requested should not represent more than 10% of the organization's overall operating budget or more than 50% of the program budget.

About Us

The McInerny Foundation is one of the largest charitable foundations in the State of Hawai‘i. Its funds originated from the estates of twin brothers, William and James McInerny, and their older sister, Ella McInerny, whose wealth was generated in large part by a distinguished clothing establishment in the city of Honolulu.

Major Capital Requests

Major Capital requests may include capital campaigns, projects and equipment purchases with TOTAL costs of $500,000 and more.    

Major Capital grants may be provided for the purchase of equipment, renovations and construction of buildings; and occasionally for the purchase of land to protect the environment.  

Generally, the Foundation prefers to be one of several contributors, expecting the organization to acquire needed funds from several sources to assure the project is completed at a specific time and/or in a timely manner.  

In the interest of public causes, McInerny Foundation has long required that all (100%) board of directors of an organization make a personal annual financial contribution, at some level, to the support of the organization ‐ in addition to participating in fundraising activities. Directors are also required to attend Board meetings, volunteer work when needed, and make significant efforts to gain community and business support.

Some other factors considered in reviewing a proposal are:

• the community’s need for the proposed project in relation to other similar activities
• reasonableness of the project’s income/expenditure budget
• ability of the applicant to obtain entire funding and complete the proposed project.
