When giving through a planned gift, individuals can enjoy tax advantages on their charitable donations. We recommend seeking guidance from a financial advisor for an outcome tailored to your individual needs.

“I am so lucky to live in Hawai‘i, the home of the East-West Center. That’s why I want to ensure the future of EWC through my estate gift. I get to take advantage of all the rich cultural and educational opportunities the EWC offers and engage with scholars, scientists, political figures, journalists, and other thought leaders who focus on issues affecting us all. What a gift.”
