The Campaign
Growing Character. Building Community.
Every gift matters!
Every dollar counts!
Character Counts!
The Friends of HTA Annual Fund is a critical fundraising campaign that raises money for Hawaii Technology Academy (HTA). The theme of this year's Annual Fund is "Growing Character. Building Community." HTA is intentional about cultivating character in students' lives. HTA strives to create a culture of acceptance and love at our school in hopes that the character of our students will have fertile soil in which to take root and grow. We believe that the character of young people grows when given permission to make mistakes, take chances, express themselves, collaborate with others, listen to peers, teachers and parents, and identify their own paths forward. Your gift to the Friends of HTA Annual Fund not only makes a difference in the lives of students, but also impacts communities through our character-driven campaign. Truly - every gift matters and every dollar counts as we are "Growing Character. Building Community."

1. WHAT IS THE ANNUAL FUND?
The Annual Fund is a critical Friends of HTA fundraising effort that raises money for Hawaii Technology Academy (HTA). The Annual Fund aims to bridge the gap between the money received from the state of Hawaii and the true cost of educating each child in HTA’s blended learning program.
2. WHY ARE GIFTS TO THE ANNUAL FUND SO IMPORTANT?
Gifts to the Annual Fund support student enrichment, clubs, and project based learning initiatives in HTA’s face-to-face classes. Gifts enable HTA's administration to keep club and enrichment costs reasonable for our families and to ensure that our teachers have the funds needed to design engaging and innovative class lessons and projects. The Annual Fund ensures that HTA is able to financially support clubs or enrichment activities that allow students to readily explore their passions.
3. WHY NOT CHARGE TUITION OR A FEE IN LIEU OF AN ANNUAL FUND?
As a public charter school, HTA is committed to providing a high quality, tuition-free education to families across Hawaii. But the per-pupil funding HTA receives from the state only goes so far. Gifts to the Annual Fund help ensure the breadth of programs and opportunities HTA can offer to students.
4. WHAT IS THE AVERAGE GIFT AMOUNT?
Gifts may range in size from $1 to more than $25,000. Every dollar counts! You are encouraged to make a meaningful gift each school year in the amount that is right for your family. Employees, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, grandparents, friends, and community members are all invited to support this important campaign.
5. WHY IS PARENT PARTICIPATION SO IMPORTANT?
The Annual Fund aims for 100% parent participation! Not only is every gift significant, but your gift sends a powerful message that you support HTA’s mission and vision for the future, and it empowers HTA to continue on its path of providing an excellent education both inside and outside of the classroom. Our worthwhile vision of being “a community that embraces the challenges of today and the opportunities of tomorrow” takes the support of the entire HTA community!
6. CAN I MAKE MY GIFT IN PAYMENTS?
Absolutely! Gifts may be made in recurring monthly or quarterly payments.
7. IS MY GIFT TAX DEDUCTIBLE?
Since Friends of HTA is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), all gifts are tax deductible as determined by IRS regulations. Gifts received by Friends of HTA before December 31st are eligible for deduction in that calendar year.
Help us reach our Annual Fund goal of $25,000.
