TMT created The Hawaii Island New Knowledge (THINK) Fund at Hawaii Community Foundation (HCF) in October 2014 to provide grants, scholarships and community leadership to further this purpose.
The purpose of the THINK Fund at Hawaii Community Foundation is to improve educational opportunities for Hawaii Island students that serve to prepare them to become the workforce for the science and technology economy of the 21st century Hawaii.
The THINK Fund at HCF has an advisory committee made up of thoughtful Hawaii Island community leaders who provide their expertise to support the HCF staff and board in fulfilling the goals of the education fund.
There are 4 ways to get involved in the THINK Fund at HCF:
Teachers Start here to post your classroom STEM project to be considered for funding on DonorsChoose.org. The THINK Fund at HCF will announce the inaugural recipients of STEM Learning Grants in early April.
