Types of Gifts
Restricted Donations
Donors can make a restricted gift by defining a program, project or scholarship of special interest when making a donation. You can make a donation to the following:
- Scholarships – Whether you are a Kamehameha Schools alumni looking to grow your class fund or a person looking to donate to a scholarship with a focus on a particular study area, the Foundation has over 50 scholarships to allocate your donation towards.
-
Early Childhood Education and Literacy – Through this fund, the Foundation makes it possible for keiki and their ‘ohana to purchase books, multi-media items and other learning tools that help set the foundation for future success in learning.
-
Charter School Support – The Foundation is helping to build awareness and get support for these courageous schools that give students a choice at a culturally rich education.
-
Land Stewardship – The Foundation’s Land Stewardship Fund supports organizations and individuals that are preserving the natural and cultural resources on our precious lands for all generations to enjoy.
-
Advancing the Hawaiian Language – Contributions made for the purpose of advancing the Hawaiian language will assist efforts to preserve Hawaiian language and heritage, like the work of ‘Aha Pūnana Leo, Hawaiian immersion schools or other efforts to build and share ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i.
Unrestricted Gifts
Unrestricted gifts allow the Foundation the flexibility to respond to the areas of most critical need. These outright gifts include cash, appreciated property (real estate, stock) or tangible personal property.
Tribute Gifts
Tribute gifts are made in honor or in memory of individuals or organizations that have inspired you in some way or to honor someone who has touched your heart.
Future Gifts
A future gift is arranged now, but the Foundation's use of the funds is delayed to a later time. The funds for a bequest are available to utilize at the end of the donor's life. Other ways of making a future gift are naming the Foundation as beneficiary of a portion of an IRA or other retirement plan, or life insurance policy, or establishing a charitable remainder trust with the principal payable to the Foundation when the trust terminates.

Corporate Matching
Corporations will often match an employee’s charitable gift dollar for dollar. Please check with your employer to see if your contribution qualifies for this category. For more information, please contact the us at (808) 534-3966 or giving@pauahi.org.
