Review for Arts of Kona, Kallua Kona, HI, USA
I have been involved in several fund raising events for this non-profit, and have been impressed every time with the focus on details, the joy (especially from the children) of the performers, and the clear focus of each and every event.
In addition, I am a grant writer and have assisted with multiple grant requests from Arts of Kona. It was a pleasure being able to wax eloquent - honestly - about the worthiness of the organization, which any grant writer can tell you is not always the case!
This is one of the most passionate and able group of people I have ever worked with, and they deserve to succeed. On this small island, this type of vision and focus is exceedingly valuable, and I am grateful to be a part of this effort.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
getting the word out that there is a 'one stop shop' for artists and performers on the Big Island, the first (and only) of its kind. I especially loved the events when school children were able to showcase their talents to the public, with everything from dancing and choral groups to a 'poetry slam' for teenagers. It is unique, it is valuable, and it is a wonderful thing of which to be a part.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Encourage its president to delegate a little more. She is extremely overworked!
