The Big Island Fuel Crops Project has been funded in its entirety by South Point Propagation. At this time we are soliciting for grant funding and or donations from private individuals, corporations, or trusts to continue our research in depth and begin the field testing on a larger scale.

We are currently working on Federal Grant applications; however, due to the time lapse between the application process and disbursement of funds we must seek other funding for the next 1-2 years.

  
All offers of financial assistance will be considered.
