Bill > SCR137

This concurrent resolution requests the Office of the Auditor to conduct a performance audit of the University of Hawaii Foundation, a nonprofit organization responsible for fundraising and managing over seven thousand gift accounts for the University of Hawaii System. The resolution highlights the foundation's critical role in supporting research, student aid, and campus improvement projects, noting the success of the "For UH For Hawaii" fundraising campaign, which has raised over $660 million. The primary aim of the proposed audit is to evaluate the efficient, effective, and transparent use of funds to support students and faculty, identify potential shortfalls, and recommend areas of improvement. The resolution calls for the audit to ensure that the numerous fund opportunities available to donors are being managed productively and in alignment with their intended purposes. Additionally, the resolution directs that copies of the concurrent resolution be transmitted to the Auditor, the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the University of Hawaii Foundation, and the Foundation's Chief Executive Officer.
