The Libraries Learning Leading Fund is part of the University of Hawaii Giving Campaign. These funds are used in support of Library Development activities, including special events and printed materials, and are used at the discretion of the Director of Development and the Dean of Libraries.Memorial & Tributes Fund
Your gift of $50 or more may be used to purchase one or more books in the subject of your choice as a memorial or a tribute to an individual, or to commemorate a special occasion. Once your donation is received, the Library will send a letter to the family of the honored person(s), notifying them of your thoughtful gift. Each book purchased through a memorial/tribute donation will bear a personalized bookplate commemorating the person or the event.Endowed Book Funds
Creating a library book endowment is a long-lasting way of showing your support for the University of Hawaii Libraries. Endowments are created with a donation of $10,000 or more. The contribution is invested and will earn valuable interest in perpetuity. The Library then uses a percentage of the accrued interest to purchase books, while the remaining interest is reinvested into the endowment to ensure continuous growth. Book endowments can be created in the subject area of your choice, and each book purchased using money from the endowment bears a specially designed, individual bookplate. Each endowment will remain at the University of Hawaii Libraries to support our collections on a continuing basis. The principal of an endowment is never spent. It is forever a source of revenue for the Library. Types of endowments include:
Memorial endowments which stand as perpetual
testaments to the memory of a loved one. Each book purchased with
money from an endowment will bear a bookplate commemorating the
endowment.
Honorary endowments which can be created to support your particular area(s) of interest in the library. This gift will ensure a continual enhancement of the collections for years to come.
Personalized endowments which may also honor a family member or a friend.
