Historic Hawai‘i Foundation will hold an online auction from May 14-21, 2022 to raise funds for its education, assistance and advocacy programs. Help us make it an exciting success by donating an item or two, such as works of art, handmade crafts, gift cards to your favorite bakery or restaurant, or tickets to a concert or play. All proceeds from the auction will help preserve places that provide all of us in Hawai‘i with a tangible connection to our shared history and heritage–places that serve as invaluable touchstones for our communities.

Donations of locally made items also serve to support local artists and businesses.

For local businesses and artists, the auction is a great opportunity to promote your brand and highlight the unique goods and services you have to offer. The auction will be promoted to an audience of over 3,500 people. In addition, your act of generosity will be in the public eye with recognition on the auction site throughout the event.

To make an in-kind donation, please contact Michelle, HHF’s development assistant, by phone at (808)523-2900 or by email. We will coordinate with you on the pick up/delivery of items as needed. Mahalo for your consideration!
