CFL FY2025 Beautification Award Guidelines

The Cooke Foundation is proud to announce the recipients of its 2025 Beautification Awards. Mountain View Elementary School (Hawaiʻi Island), Innovations Public Charter School (Hawaiʻi Island), and Kalāheo High School (O‘ahu) each received $5,000 and a special plaque in recognition of efforts made by their community—students, faculty, staff, and external members—to beautify their learning environment.

The Cooke Foundation believes children deserve to be surrounded by beauty, and that a beautiful environment at school is conducive to learning and encourages respect for one’s school, oneself, and others. A Hawaii public or charter school may apply for a Beautification Award in recognition of work done to enhance its campus’ appearance.

The Beautification Awards are typically given out every other year. The next round of applications is anticipated to be due in early 2027. Please watch this site for updates.
