employees make to community organizations. Please consider choosing
HPR as a beneficiary.
Simply obtain a matching gift form from the human resources
department at your company, and send it to HPR with your

Volunteer
HPR relies on volunteers for a variety
of projects such as answering telephones during pledge drives
and other special projects and events throughout the year.
You'll get to see our on-air studios, meet the people who share
your interest in public radio, and participate in the
life of the station. It's a great way to meet people and gain an insight
into how it all comes together here at Hawaii Public Radio. You'll have
a great time as well.
Become an HPR volunteer today! Call Gene Evans at (808) 955-8821 or email

Make A Challenge Grant
During pledge drives, Hawaii Public Radio’s most successful
fundraising hours consistently occur when a challenge grant is
in effect. During a challenge, pledge phones ring more often, and new
members join at a faster pace.
When you sponsor a challenge grant you multiply the effect of your
contribution, and while a challenge is in effect, your name or the
name of your company or organization is mentioned repeatedly on the air.
Take a leadership role in supporting HPR by making a challenge grant
during the next Hawaii Public Radio pledge drive. Call Valerie
Yee at (808) 955-8821 or email
vyee@hawaiipublicradio.org.

Make a Gift of Stock
Making a gift of appreciated stock to HPR rather than
simply writing a check can offer tax benefits that are twofold:
- You may be able to avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in the
value of the stock.
- You receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the
stock at the time of the gift.
To make a gift of stock to HPR, please provide your
financial advisor with this information:
Merrill Lynch
Account Number: 145-04B77
Depository Trust Corporation (DTC): 5198
Federal Tax ID#: 51-0191809
Contact: Winnie Lam

Include HPR In Your Estate Planning
The term "estate planning" means different things to different people.
After taking care of family, friends, and your own economic security, you
may choose to make charitable gifts from the remaining assets.
This can be accomplished through a bequest in your will, a remainder interest in
a revocable living trust, a beneficiary designation of life insurance
proceeds, or numerous other methods, many of which offer tax
savings and other financial benefits.
Consider including Hawaii Public Radio in your will, trust, or estate
plans. Your thoughtful choice will help assure the future of public
radio here in the Hawaiian Islands. To learn more, call Valerie Yee
at (808) 955-8821 or email
vyee@hawaiipublicradio.org.

Become An Underwriter - Program Sponsor
Individuals, businesses, and community organizations can support Hawaii
Public Radio by sponsoring, or underwriting, programming. When you
underwrite a program, HPR makes an on-air announcement that
begins, “Support for [program name] comes from [your name or company
name],” followed by a brief message.
Underwriting is a way to communicate your message to the loyal,
informed, and influential Hawaii Public Radio audience. A
survey conducted on behalf of NPR found that 88% of listeners agreed
with the statement, "Your opinion of a company is more positive when you
find out it supports public radio." (Source: Edison Media Research,
2003)
