Not every grant proposal that Mari and I write is funded.

But I checked our company’s records today. So far this year, we’ve brought in $2 million in government grants for Hawaii non-profits…! Yay…!

We have another $1.8 million in proposals that should be decided tomorrow. Hoping the fickle “Funding Gods” will smile our way…LOL!

Mari just submitted a $900,000 federal grant proposal for a Native Hawaiian non-profit…! Yay…!
It’s one of the best proposals we’ve ever written. We are hopeful it will be fully funded, but that decision is up to the “Federal Funding Gods.”
Now on to the other federal proposals we are working on that are due in the next two weeks…LOL!
