University Of Hawaii Foundation

University of Hawaii Foundation is a private, institutionally related corporation designated as a 501(c)(3) organization by the Internal Revenue Service. It channels the funds from donors and grants into supporting the university, its students, and its faculty. It is a legally separate entity from the University of Hawaiʻi, the UH Alumni Association, and all other UH affiliates. However, the UH Foundation works closely with these organizations, as well as with others in the community, exclusively for the benefit of the university. The University of Hawaiʻi Foundation was established in 1955 to encourage private support for the University of Hawaiʻi. Today, it is the central fundraising organization for the UH System and is contracted by the Board of Regents to be the sole provider of fundraising and alumni services. In addition to fundraising, the Foundation manages more than 6,000 gift accounts for the benefit of the university and its students.
