Support the Press

Support the Press

A gift to University of Hawai‘i Press is a gift to scholarship.

Since 1947, we have been committed to the advancement of knowledge through the publication of peer-reviewed books and journals of exceptional merit.

Moreover, we are a self-supporting, nonprofit operation. The income we receive from book purchases and journals subscriptions supports the production of the next UH Press manuscript or digital publication.

We invite you to consider a tax-deductible donation to help us continue our scholarship for decades to come. Please read below for the many ways to give through our fundraising organization, the University of Hawai‘i Foundation.*

We’re also open to your good ideas. If you or your organization is interested in partnering with UH Press, please click here to Contact Us.
