We Know Success Starts with a Good Idea and a Great Teacher

At the Public Schools of Hawaii Foundation, we know sometimes, you just need someone to believe in you and your ideas. That's why we started the "Good Idea" grant program to support Hawaii's public schools statewide. Since 1985, we have provided over $3,000,000 of grants to public elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the State of Hawaii. So partner with us to make your good idea a reality!

The Public Schools of Hawaii Foundation, a community-based non-profit corporation, was founded in 1986 on the belief that improvement in public education can be achieved only as the quality of instruction improves in each and every classroom. The Foundation does not endeavor to make policies nor is it a forum for reform. The Foundation raises funds to benefit all students in all public schools in Hawaii.
