HOOKUPAA PO Box 23180 Honolulu, HI 96823-3180 Kanu Me Ka Laulima Kakou Community Development and Financing March 23 24, 2016 The 4th Annual Conference on Community Development and Financing will be held on March 23 24 at the University of Hawaii at Manoa William S. Richardson School of Law. Our annual conferences provide opportunities for participants to engage in peer learning activities; share lessons learned in the course of their own community and organizational development challenges and successes; meet others in the community development arena; and to identify emerging trends and opportunities that will impact their project planning and development. As the demand for funding developments (i.e. capital improvement, energy projects, nation building) increases, traditional methods of capitalizing projects (i.e. socioeconomic development) become increasingly inadequate. There are alternatives. By creatively structuring projects, communities, nonprofit organizations and businesses (nonprofit and for-profit) are able to access capital. Capital requires organizational capability and capacity that some entities already have. It sets a goal post for others that can be met by strategically planning their approaches for the next several years. This conference will provide information and a road map for communities, nonprofit organizations and businesses to improve their ability to access funding sources including programs like the federal New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the State of Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, the U.S. Small Business Administration s (SBA), and private foundations that have been highly successful in Hawaii and in other parts of the county. This Conference is about building organizational capabilities so that more communities, nonprofit organizations, and businesses are able to secure funding needed to construct projects, create jobs, and provide needed services and products to the State of Hawaii.
