Memorial and tribute giving

Every contribution to the Pauahi Foundation’s Memorial and Tribute program makes a meaningful difference! Our donors are vital partners who are instrumental to our ability to innovate, inspire, and provide support for Native Hawaiian haumana pursuing a post-high education.

Honor a friend, recognize a kumu, or remember a loved one by making a gift to Pauahi Foundation.

For gifts made in memory, we will send a personalized letter to the ‘ohana informing them of your thoughtful gift, while keeping the amount confidential.

Families may request memorial gifts, in lieu of flowers, to be directed to a specific scholarship or KS Program or Initiatives. The link above can be shared with others on printed programs, in online tribute sites, or by email or written correspondence.

Make a tribute gift

A tribute gift is a powerful way to make a difference by expressing your appreciation for someone. These gifts can be made in honor of a birthday, anniversary, graduation or other special occasion—or just to extend a special mahalo to a friend. You also can honor a loved one, family member, colleague, kumu or coach to show your gratitude for the impact they have made in your life or in the community.

For gifts made in tribute, we will send a personalized letter to the honoree informing them of your thoughtful gift, while keeping the amount confidential.
