Through your financial planning or estate
By making HPA a beneficiary of your will, you become a member of HPA’s Lo‘ihi Society. The Lo‘ihi Society recognizes supporters who have provided for HPA in their financial and/or estate planning. Formally established in 1998, this society is named for the 400,000 year old seamount (submerged volcano) growing steadily off the coast of southern Hawai‘i. Like our Lo‘ihi Society members, it is a vibrant ocean oasis that sustains a vast ecosystem. To learn more, contact the Alumni Office at alumni@hpa.edu or 808-881-4077.

These gifts support HPA’s operating budget, or you may designate them for a specific purpose.
