The Alexander & Baldwin Foundation has two Contributions Committees that are geographically-oriented -- the Hawaii Committee and the Mainland Committee.  Each has its own deadlines and meeting schedule.

Submittal Deadlines:
The Hawaii Committee meets six times a year, in odd-numbered months (January, March, etc.).  Requests for this Committee's consideration must be received (hard copy, fax or email) by the first business day of the month prior to the meeting month; e.g. December 1st for the January meeting; February 1st for the March meeting; April 1st for the May meeting and so on.  If the first of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline becomes the next business day.

The Mainland Committee meets monthly, with occasional exceptions.  Requests for the Mainland Committee's consideration are due by the first of each month.

Requests generally are considered at the next scheduled meeting, but the Foundation reserves the right to delay consideration of a request.

Requests must be submitted in writing; in order to meet deadlines, they may be faxed or emailed but one original copy must also be provided.  One copy is required. If your charity wishes to receive confirmation that a request has been received, please enclose a self-addressed envelope or post-card.

Notification to grant applicants of each Committee's decisions will be in writing, generally within two weeks of each meeting; transmittal of grant funding is generally arranged within several weeks' time.
