Submissions for a relief program for nonprofit organizations impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will end next week, Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi announced.

Blangiardi in a news release today said that the deadlines for submissions for the first tranche of funding for the Non-Profit Relief Program is set for Monday at 11:30 p.m., when the online application portal will stop accepting digital applications.
