HAMINADE AWARDED TWO MAJOR FOUNDATION GRANTS

HONOLULU—August 16, 2011—Chaminade University announced today that it has been awarded two major foundation grants:

The Samuel N. and Mary Castle Foundation has awarded an $83,000 grant to Chaminade University to support the Castle Colleagues Pre-School Directors Management Training Program. The Castle Colleagues Program at Chaminade provides management training to early childhood education directors from throughout Hawaii. The program was developed to meet the reality of management issues faced by directors of early childhood sites and is designed to offer practical, hands-on management skills, tools, and resources through a series of intensive retreats structured as interactive survey courses. It is the only community-based management training program for early childhood site directors in Hawaii.

The Samuel N. & Mary Castle Foundation and its component fund, the Henry and Dorothy Castle Memorial Fund, are committed to providing resources to improve the life of Hawaii’s children and families by improving early education, K-12 and independent schools, and arts and cultural institutions. The Foundation works to fund a multiple number of projects to ensure greater access of Hawaii's children to high quality early education.

The Joseph & Vera Long Foundation has awarded a $50,000 grant to Chaminade University to support improvements for Eiben Hall, one of the university’s original campus structures that houses programs in the Arts, Communications, and Interior Design.

On January 1, 2011, The J. M. Long Foundation and The Vera M. Long Foundation merged to form The Joseph & Vera Long Foundation. This new organization continues the legacy of supporting qualified not-for-profit organizations involved with conservation, education and healthcare in the communities of Northern California and Hawaii.

Educating students for life, service and successful careers, Chaminade University is a Catholic/ Marianist university offering programs of study grounded in the liberal arts with day, evening, online and accelerated courses. Chaminade is also a Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander serving institution with its main campus located at 3140 Waialae Ave., Honolulu, HI 96816, and 10 satellite locations around Oahu.
