The University of Hawaiʻi ʻohana came together for the first-ever UH Giving Day, raising $593,538 for dozens of programs across the 10 UH campuses.

“It’s humbling to see how our community responded to this first Giving Day and we are extremly grateful for every donor who participated,” University of Hawai‘i Vice President of Advancement and UH Foundation CEO Tim Dolan said. “The vision for this came from the incredible momentum of our historic $1 billion comprehensive campaign FOR UH • FOR HAWAIʻI, and Giving Day was a way to highlight some of the amazing work being done across UH.”

Donors chose where they wanted their gifts to go, and funded scholarships to help students and families afford college, research that matters and everything from basic needs of students to world-class programs in astronomy, climate change and public health.

FOR UH • FOR HAWAIʻI, The Campaign for the University of Hawaiʻi, is focused on raising $1 billion to support UH priorities on all 10 campuses across the state, including student success; research that matters; kuleana to Native Hawaiians and Hawaiʻi; sustainability, resilience and conservation; innovation and entrepreneurship; building Hawaiʻi’s workforce; and engaging our community.
