Become an Angel Giver
Angel Givers provide Kaua‘i Hospice with a reliable and consistent source of income, which is essential for our planning and ability to offer care.

To become an Angel Giver, simply sign up through our secure online donation form or call us at (808) 245-7277.
Donate Appreciated Property
In addition to cash donations, you can contribute appreciated assets such as stocks, bonds, or real estate. By donating property you’ve held for over a year, you can avoid paying taxes on any capital gains. Your charitable deduction will be based on the fair market value of the asset at the time of donation — a win-win for both you and the patients we serve.
To make a donation of appreciated stock, please contact your broker and notify Kaua‘i Hospice’s Advancement Department by calling 808-245-7277 or via email. This ensures the prompt processing and receipt of your generous gift.
Planned Giving Options
You can also use cash or appreciated property to set up charitable remainder trusts or charitable gift annuities. These planned giving options allow you to receive income and benefits while also supporting Kaua‘i Hospice, helping you achieve both your financial and charitable goals.
Endow a Lasting Tribute
Make a lasting impact by using your gift to endow Kaua‘i Hospice’s patient care, grief counseling, and other vital programs. An endowed fund is invested to provide ongoing annual support, while also growing in value over time, ensuring your contribution continues to benefit our services for years to come.
