UH Giving Tuesday: HELP MAUI

Typically a 24-hour campaign, UH System-wide effort to inspire alumni, students, parents, friends, and the larger community to make a gift to any area or campus. This year the goal is to bring the entire community together so we can all help this effort by sharing, following and financially supporting UH and Maui community. The theme this year is "HELP MAUI"

Yes, University of Hawai‘i Foundation takes significant measures to ensure that all donor information is safe and secure. When you make a gift at givingday.uhfoundation.org, and you provide your credit card information, everything is processed through a secure payment processing gateway. We place the highest priority on the confidentiality of donor information. You will receive an email receipt soon after you make a gift on the Day of Giving.

Your credit/debit card will be charged immediately. 

Matching gifts help encourage greater participation and larger gifts to the university. They provide buoyancy and a sense of urgency that frequently prompts action on the part of potential donors. These also provide donors the opportunity to double the impact of their contribution.

If you do not see this on the platform, please select “Other” and include the program/fund name you wish to support in the comments section. We will make sure your gift is designated to the area of your choice.

Choose any "Campus Program" then select "Other" from the "Fund Designation" select or use our main online giving website.

Philanthropy for Maui has never been more important than it is now. Private support from alumni, friends and others helps fund scholarships for students who otherwise might not have access to higher education. Support from philanthropic sources also funds program enhancements and hands-on learning experiences for students. Giving back and paying it forward is one of the greatest things we can do for UH.

We have four uniques ways to support Maui's recovery; Disaster Relief, Urgent Student Relief, Urgent Faculty and Staff Relief and Feed Maui. However, you can designate your gift to any area of the university that is important to you. Whether you are passionate about your college/department or you have an interest in a specific research initiative or student program, you are free to designate your gift to that program. If you don’t see a specific fund you are interested in supporting, you can select “Other” and still make your gift.

Every dollar you contribute will directly benefit our UH students, faculty and community partners that are dedicated to restoring Maui. No fees will be assessed for gifts supporting the Maui recovery.

The Foundation’s Board of Trustees is responsible for establishing fees which help support the operations of the Foundation. The process for establishing or changing fees includes the concurrence of the university. A one-time administrative fee of 5% on all incoming gifts, including endowment gifts, and other non-gift income deposited in an account.

You can help us spread the word! We have only 24 hours, and our goal is to reach as many donors as possible during this time. The best way to do this would be to participate online by posting and sharing this on your favorite social media platforms.

You can also sign up to be a Giving Day Influencer to easily get the word out and track your impact.
