A SPECIAL INVITATION FROM MEDB A PATHWAY TO OUR FUTURE A benefit for the MEDB Ke Alahele Education Fund Featuring: U. S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye Mayor Charmaine Tavares

Our ability to meet our work force needs, particularly in the technology fields, will determine the success of our economic goals. Recognizing the critical nature of this preparation, MEDB has worked vigorously throughout its history to enhance education and training in our community.

To further support this growing need for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) skills, our board of directors created the MEDB Ke Alahele Fund in 2006 as a grant making vehicle. The Fund stimulates community investment in broadening career pathways for Maui County residents.

Thanks to the many companies and individuals who responded to our appeal for support for the MEDB Ke Alahele Fund in conjunction with our 25th Anniversary celebration, we surpassed the fund's fundraising goal for this year!

We are now reaching out to prospective grantees who have a concept that they would like to bring to life. If you are interested, or know someone else who might be, please review the information on applying below.
