Polynesian Voyaging Society is participating in Give Aloha, Foodland’s Annual Community Matching Gifts Program. The program honors Foodland’s founder, Maurice J. “Sully” Sullivan, and continues his legacy of giving back to the community.
How It Works
From September 1-30, customers are invited to make donations of up to $249 to Hawaiʻi non-profit organizations like the Polynesian Voyaging Society at checkout at any Foodland, Sack N Save, Foodland Farms or with online grocery orders! Foodland and the Western Union Foundation will match a portion of each donation. Individuals must use their own Maika’i number to make a donation; donations made without a Maika’i number will not be matched.
How to Donate
- Shop at Foodland,Sack N Save, or place an online grocery order for curbside pick up or delivery.
- Use your Maika’i Card at checkout.
- Use our code (77673) and the amount of your donation (up to $249).
- Review your receipt to confirm the following appears: – Our organization name (PVS) – Your donation amount – Your Maikaʻi number
**Foodland will also be accepting My Reward certificates as a $5 donation towards the Give Aloha Fund which adds to the $300,000 matching gift benefiting all organizations**
Acknowledgement of Your Donation
Donor names will not be released to our organization. Therefore, if you would like to us to know of your gift, please contact us directly at info@pvshawaii.org so that we may properly acknowledge your gift. You may ask the cashier for a duplicate receipt to submit to us.
Are These Contributions Tax Deductible?
These contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Please save your store receipt for tax purposes since it will be the only record you will have of your donation(s).
Matching Gift
Matching gifts will be determined at the end of the program. Our organization will receive 100% of all customer donations given to us, plus each donation made with a Maika’i card, will be partially matched by a gift from Foodland and the Western Union Foundation.
