Once you have created an account in the Harold K. L. Castle Foundation’s FLUXX grant system, please login to check on updates to your Online Inquiry Form, your Full Proposal, any upcoming contingencies due, and schedule of payments.
If you would like to update the organizational or people profile in your account, please contact Beth Murph at 808-554-5164.
To begin an online application, please select Apply for a Two Stage Mission-aligned Proposal. Once you have completed the initial online inquiry, please locate a copy under Initial Inquiry. The staff will review your inquiry to assure it is aligned with the Foundation’s mission and goals. Please do not begin another application as you will create a duplicate copy.
If your initial inquiry was deemed a fit, you will be invited via email to submit a full proposal. Please locate your full proposal application under Full Proposal. Please click on the edit button toward the upper right to begin. Please remember to SAVE and save often as the system does not autosave. Once you have submitted your proposal, please find a read-only version under Submitted Requests. You may also verify that the Foundation has received a copy if you can locate it here, but there may be a slight delay in viewing your proposal.
If you are applying for a Ocean Resiliency grant, please download the workplan here.
Once your proposal is approved by directors, you will receive a soft copy of your grant agreement via email. Please upload a copy of your signed grant agreement by locating the contingency under Reports Due. Here you will also find a link to upload copies of revised budgets, revised workplans, permits, notice to proceed to the contractor, matching payments etc. as well as any progress or final reports due. Please be sure to check the due date and complete the correct report since there could be multiple reports listed in your account. Once you have submitted your report, please find a read-only version under Submitted Reports.
Finally, please find all upcoming grant payments under Scheduled. Once your contingency has been approved, please check under Paid to verify that your payment has been processed. Please note that the Foundation no longer issues paper checks, but has transitioned to ACH transfers for all grant payments. If you do not receive the funds in your account within a few days after the payment date, please contact Ann Matsukado at 808-263-8920. Please also ensure that your bank information on file with the Foundation is up to date.
If your project is ending and you have remaining funds, please request a No Cost Extension (NCE) prior to the end date. You may request a NCE through your Fluxx account. Please scroll down to active grants to select your grant and click on the Request Amendment button on the top right to begin your request. You will be required to attach a cover letter on letterhead requesting the amendment and an updated project budget noting the amount of remaining funds. Please provide additional detail regarding how the funds will be expended.
