Nonprofit organizations focused on improving economic and social mobility, and environmental sustainability in Hawai‘i are encouraged to apply for a grant from Hawaiian Telcom powered by the Bell Charitable Foundation.

The Bell Charitable Foundation was launched by Hawaiian Telcom’s parent company altafiber to support nonprofit organizations in areas where its companies provide service. Nonprofits should be making an impact in the following areas: access to technology, health and well-being, economic and social mobility, and environmental sustainability.

Grant cycles are open twice a year — in April and in October. The upcoming application period for Economic and Social Mobility, and Sustainability grants is Oct. 1 to 31, 2024.

Economic and social mobility projects intend to lift at-risk populations to higher stability, status and success in their economic or social standing. Environmental sustainability projects intend to diminish the harm made to the earth and nature in our communities, or improve access to nature spaces.

About $500,000 in grants is available across all geographies that altafiber serves. Eligible entities are US-based, tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. For additional requirements and information, visit: bellfdn.org/.

According to Hawaiian Telcom, the internet provider has given about $260,000 in grants powered by the Bell Charitable Foundation. In 2023, the foundation gave $140,000 in digital equity grants in celebration of Hawaiian Telcom’s 140-year anniversary.
