The key ingredient of our success is the financial support you provide with a tax-deductible gift to the HOT Annual Fund.
HOT has an annual operating budget of over $3 million, with 65% of those monies going directly into educational programs.
Ticket revenues cover only 40% of HOT's annual expenses. Like our colleagues on the mainland, these percentages are in keeping with national trends - opera simply does not pay for itself by ticket revenues alone. These figures underscore the unique and critical nature of your gift - we simply could not do it without your support.
Your Gift to HOT is a Gift to the Community
Play a leading role at HOT by helping to continue the tradition of professional opera in Hawaii. Your tax-deductible gift plays an important part in touching the lives of children and adults today, and for years to come.
