As 2023 draws to a close we thank you for your support of University of Hawai'i students, faculty, programs and research. Your gifts are making an extraordinary impact statewide.

 

We would like to remind you that the date on the tax receipt denotes when we processed your gift, and does not imply the date your gift was made. While you should consult with your CPA or tax preparer to determine the tax consequences of your donation, the date you delivered or mailed your donation is generally recognized as the gift date.

 

The IRS has different rules for checks and credit cards. For IRS purposes, credit card gifts made on our website up until December 31st will be processed on December 31st. Should you have any questions, please contact us at (808) 956-7842.
