Faculty and Staff Giving

As a beloved part of Punahou’s community, faculty and staff are essential to Punahou’s tradition of giving. Support from our employees sends an important message of community, gratitude and investment in the School’s important mission.
Nearly 400 faculty and staff embraced the spirit of giving back and made a gift last year. Gifts at any level are needed and appreciated, it’s the act of participating in giving every year that matters. For more information on faculty and staff giving, please contact Lilly Seyler, Annual Giving Officer, at 808.983.5035 or lseyler@punahou.edu.

FACULTY AND STAFF PARTICIPATION (2026 – 2027 SCHOOL YEAR)

Heart of Punahou Employees

The Heart Of Punahou Employees (HOPE) Committee was formed in 2015 by a group of dedicated faculty and staff of Punahou. HOPE’s mission is to bring current Punahou employees together to share a deeper understanding of our School and community, and through peer-to-peer efforts, encourage all current employees to participate in supporting Punahou with a philanthropic gift of any amount every year.
