For over a century, Bishop Museum has cared for the cultural and natural history of Hawai‘i and the Pacific. Founded in 1889 by Charles Reed Bishop in memory of his beloved wife, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the Museum’s founding collections contain the personal legacies and bequests of the royal Kamehameha and Kalakaua families. For more than one hundred years, Bishop Museum has served as the keeper of these extraordinary Hawaiian cultural treasures.
The Museum’s mission is to study, preserve,
and tell the stories of Hawai‘i and the
Pacific, and we depend upon the generosity
of our friends and members—people like you—to
continue this important work. Today, more
than ever, there are many creative
and flexible options for you to fulfill both your charitable
and financial goals at the Bishop Museum.
These gifts can be ones that the Museum
can use immediately; others that will pay
income back to you while benefiting the
Museum, and still others that will take
effect sometime in the future. We will be
happy to assist in finding the right option
for you.

Bishop Museum’s new Mary Kawena Pukui Legacy Society
Bishop Museum has recently founded the new Mary Kawena Pukui Society, to recognize and honor those who have committed to the long-range support of Bishop Museum by including the Museum in their estate plans.
The Society is named for Bishop Museum’s foremost patron and noted Hawaiian authority, Mary Kawena Pukui, whose philosophy and life’s work epitomized the mission and vision of Bishop Museum itself. Like Mrs. Pukui, our Society members are building a legacy that will support the Museum’s efforts to care for the cultural and natural heritage of Hawai‘i and the Pacific for generations to come.
Have you included Bishop Museum in you r estate plans? Perhaps you have remembered Bishop Museum in your will or living trust, or as a beneficiary of a charitable remainder trust. Please let us know so that we can include you in the Society's events and activities, and list your name in the Society's honor roll. By joining the Society, you can also help to encourage others to take the important step that you have taken.
