Information for non-profit organizations

Each year, the Visitor Industry Charity Walk supports hundreds of local non-profits statewide. All money raised for the Charity Walk on each island stays on that island to support its local charities. Raise money for your non-profit by applying for a grant and participating in the Charity Walk!

  • Interest or reduction of deficits or loans.
