CG Foundation envisions a vibrant future for Hawaiʻi where agriculture, arts, and education are at the heart of a thriving, place-based economy. We support programs that cultivate creativity, knowledge, and sustainable livelihoods — empowering the next generation of business owners, artists, cultural practitioners, and community leaders to care for our land and each other.
“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.
