CG Foundation

CG Foundation was incorporated to further the development of agriculture, arts and education in Hawaiʻi.

CG Foundation is committed to building a place-based economy on Kauai and throughout the Hawaiian Islands. Our vision is a more resilient and future-facing economy that nourishes our land and our people. We create programs that invest in and support the growing entrepreneur ecosystem and build pathways for the next generation of business owners, creatives and community leaders.

“The Kauai community is embedded with an entrepreneurial spirit, one of innovation, creativity and love for place, it’s a privilege to support local entrepreneurs and changemakers as we work together to build a more resilient future for our shared home”

Common Ground Incubator

Committed to helping form a thriving food-based economy that is inclusive and whose benefits are equitably distributed, the Foundation’s flagship program, the Common Ground Incubator, recently graduated its 3rd cohort of companies. The Incubator program provides business training services, professional consultation and/or $10,000 grant awards to each company to achieve strategic growth goals. 

The only program of its kind in the state, CG Foundation is currently raising funds for the 4th cohort of the Incubator.
