Where Your Gift Goes
Every dollar funds work that's already happening.

Direct grants to small businesses
The Hilo $1K Campaign puts low-barrier capital directly in the hands of South and West Side entrepreneurs who lack access to traditional funding sources.

02
Free programming, always
1:1 consultations, monthly workshops, and hands-on technical assistance, delivered at no cost to every entrepreneur who walks in the door. 5,000+ consulting hours and counting.

Community rapid response
When crisis hits, Hilo moves. Through Todos Ponen, donations became $800 grocery cards that carried 120 immigrant families through six consecutive weeks of support in 2025.
