We have made it our work to raise up his iconic example for our community to strive for the ideals he embodied as our Ambassador of Aloha.

Corporate sponsors are essential to the accomplishment of our mission. Your employees and customers will recognize your association with the aloha spirit of Duke Kahanamoku, focused on supporting youth scholarship and the development of ocean athletes in our island community.
You can help carry on the legacy of aloha by including us in your will, trust, retirement plan or life insurance policy. If you have already named the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation as a beneficiary of your will, trust, life insurance, retirement plan or another account, please let us know. Talk to your attorney, insurance rep, or financial planner for more information.
Corporate sponsorship of ODKF events such as Hawaii Waterman Hall of Fame and Duke’s Night provides direct charitable support. Benefits associated with sponsoring events vary from event to event.

In 2015, the IRA Charitable Rollover was signed into permanent law by the President, allowing taxpayers age 70 ½ or older to transfer up to $100,000 annually from their IRA accounts directly to a qualified charitable organization without first having to recognize the distribution as income. Talk to your financial planner about making a rollover to ODKF.
Gifts of donated business services help keep our costs lower, while providing excellent visibility for local company recognition. Please contact us at info@dukefoundation.org for more information.

Employees can stretch their charitable dollars even farther by matching their philanthropic gifts through their employer’s matching gift program.
