Each type of giving plays a vital role in strengthening our school community and mission.
Navigator Fund
The Navigator Fund is our annual fund and the foundation of philanthropy at IPA. Annual giving does more than meet financial needs – it helps elevate our school from great to exceptional. By contributing to the Navigator Fund, you support the core values that empower IPA to uncover and nurture the unique potential in every student.
Families & the Future Endowed Fund
Families and the Future Endowed Fund is essential to strengthen IPA’s foundation and secure our school’s future by establishing a $3 million endowment to support the continuous improvement of IPA’s programs, advancing a values-driven education that prepares students from every economic background for a bright and dynamic future.
I Mua Me Ka Haʻaheo Faculty and Staff Endowed Fund
In celebration of IPA’s 20th Anniversary, Dr. Dan and Judy White, two of the school’s founders, and Island Pacific Academy’s first Head of School, established the I Mua Me Ka Haʻaheo Faculty and Staff Endowed Fund. Created through a significant multi-year gift, the fund is dedicated to supporting faculty and staff salaries and professional development opportunities.
This endowed fund reflects their deep commitment to the values of generosity of spirit and the power of human kindness that have shaped IPA since its founding.
The Hisako Wilhelm Endowed Scholarship Fund
The Hisako Wilhelm Endowed Scholarship Fund, established by Lance and Marcy Wilhelm, honors Lance’s late mother, Hisako, a single mother who prioritized providing a top-notch education for her three children. This scholarship reflects the Wilhelms’ commitment to ensuring access to quality education and supports students from single-parent households who demonstrate both academic excellence and financial need. Lance and Marcy are proud parents of IPA alumna Kate Wilhelm ’20, and Lance is an Emeritus Trustee on the IPA Board of Trustees.
