The Friends of `Iolani Palace welcomes corporate involvement in sponsoring and underwriting events, activities, and special programs. We will work with you to find out how to meet your charitable and business objectives. Please contact the Palace Executive Director to find out how your business can help contribute.

Direct cash contibutions may provide deductions from pre-tax net profits.

Matching gifts programs are an easy way to support the organizations and causes that are important to your employees. When an employee makes a donation to his/her favorite charity, the company matches that donation to a certain percentage, up to a specified limit per calendar year.

Groups and individuals may adopt artifacts in the Palace collection by contributing funds for their conservation treatment, which helps stabilize, treat, and provide for the safe exhibition of treasured objects.

Employees who volunteer can develop their skills and spirits. To reward the efforts of employees who are active volunteers, you might consider making a donation for a certain number of hours of volunteer time.

You might also consider other ways to support your employees' spirit and community engagement. These could include supporting employee fundraising runs and walks where the employee's choose the charities or allocate percentages to various charities, or supporting the efforts of company volunteers by allowing them to volunteer a small portion of time on company time.

Donations of goods or services can expand your company's charitable giving. In-kind donations are goods and services provided at reduced or no cost to The Palace in lieu of a monetary gift. These contributions can consist of products, supplies, property, or excess inventory. They can also include services such as printing and catering.

Every year, the Palace hosts an Annual Gala fundraiser on the grounds of the Palace. It's always an elegant affair reminiscent of a bygone era. Corporate and business attendance at this wonderful community event is welcome (and fun!).
