A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple and tax-efficient way to support the causes you care about. If you have a donor-advised fund, you may recommend a grant to the Hawai’i Island Community Health Foundation.
Donating appreciated stock may provide significant tax advantages while making a meaningful impact in our community. By transferring stock directly to the Foundation, you may be able to avoid capital gains taxes while supporting access to healthcare across Hawaiʻi Island.
Please contact Lauren Whittemore at (808) 228-3911 for transfer instructions.
Many employers match charitable contributions made by employees, retirees, and their spouses. Check with your employer to see whether your gift qualifies for a matching contribution, which may double or even triple your impact.
Honor a loved one, celebrate a special occasion, or recognize someone special with a gift made in their name. Memorial and tribute gifts create a lasting impact while supporting healthcare for our island community.
