OED Grant Program

The Office of Economic Development (OED) provides grants for programs, projects, and events that promote and nurture sustainable economic development within Maui County consistent with the community's needs and priorities. Projects must show a direct benefit Maui's economy through activities in priority target areas including small business promotion, technology in business, culture, arts, tourism management, film industry, environmental, sports and events. Specific criteria include overall benefit to the people of Maui County, population served, and impact to Maui communities. These funds are intended to be a catalyst for economic growth and capacity building of local organizations towards economic self-sufficiency; not for long term dependence on County funding.
