Grantmaking Focus
The Johnson Ohana Foundation supports organizations with strong community involvement. We are most interested in funding organizations that work creatively toward solution-based approaches to environmental or societal problems, with a commitment to long-term and lasting change. The Johnson Ohana Foundation primarily supports smaller organizations working on issues relevant to their own local communities.
We fund groups that focus on one of three central themes:
1) Environmental Education
2) Arts Education for Youth
3) Music Education for Youth
The Johnson Ohana Foundation seeks out innovative non-profits that actively engage youth and/or volunteers in projects that provide measurable benefit to the environment and/or the community.
The Johnson Ohana Foundation is built upon an endowment that will support grantmaking and donations to non-profits in perpetuity. The Foundation has made over $5 million in donations to over 500 non-profits to date.
