Samuel N. and Mary Castle Foundation awards $50,000 for Early Literacy

Our Early Literacy program received a one-year (2025-2026) grant from the Samuel N. and Mary Castle Foundation for culture-based early literacy! The Samuel N. & Mary Castle Foundation was founded in 1894, with nearly 200 years in Hawai‘i. The Foundation’s purpose is to support equal opportunity for young children to thrive in school. The Foundation concentrates its efforts in places where there are barriers to educational success.
