About Gary and Apolonia Stice Ohana
The largest recent gift in the record is a $307,075 grant to Ku'u Home 'O Wanini for building and renovating structures that support aquaponics and classroom education in Ka'u. That single award captures the Gary and Apolonia Stice Ohana’s pattern: highly local funding tied to land, learning, and community use in Hawaiʻi. Their grants consistently support projects that connect physical space with educational or cultural purpose, from community land to youth programs and scholarships. The foundation’s recent giving also includes a $190,000 grant to the same recipient for land for community use, showing that land assets are a central part of its philanthropy. Smaller grants extend the same logic into education and place-based services, including science camp support, wildlife preservation, international student scholarships, and wildfire relief. Across the record, the foundation funds a narrow set of Hawaiʻi-based community priorities rather than a broad portfolio. The result is a profile of a funder that uses grantmaking to sustain local infrastructure, educational opportunity, and community-serving land and cultural resources.
What Gary and Apolonia Stice Ohana Funds
Community land and infrastructure are the clearest theme in the record. The foundation gave $190,000 to Ku'u Home 'O Wanini for land for community use, and its own program descriptions point to land acquisition, stewardship, and public-use community assets as recurring priorities. Education appears in several forms. Gary and Apolonia Stice Ohana awarded $2,695 to Science Camps of America for education in scientific field work techniques, and also supported a scholarship for a camp participant in need with a $2,395 grant in 2023. Another $1,000 grant went to East West Center Foundation for educational scholarship awards to international students. They also make targeted support for cultural and environmental work. A $2,000 grant to Hawaii Wildlife Center supported preservation of wildlife in Hawaiʻi, especially endangered birds, while a $500 grant to Hawaii Catholic Comm Foundation supported wildfire relief.
How Gary and Apolonia Stice Ohana Gives
The typical grant size is modest, with a p25 of $1,500, a median of $2,395, and a p75 of $96,348. That spread reflects a mix of small scholarship and relief grants alongside occasional large capital-oriented awards. The record shows repeated support for the same recipient across 2023 and 2024, which points to ongoing relationship-based giving rather than one-off transactions. The foundation also funds individuals, and its listed programs indicate a family-style, place-based operating pattern centered on Hawaiʻi. Multiple active programs are marked as not accepting unsolicited requests.
