(Honolulu, Hawaiʻi) - The University of Hawaiʻi Foundation (UHF) announces the appointment of Mark Fukeda as the new director of development for the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's College of Education. Fukeda, who was most recently the director of development for UH Mānoa's College of Engineering, will be responsible for raising major gifts from private donors for the College of Education."Over the last four years, Mark worked to increase private support for the College of Engineering, " said the Foundation's Associate VP for Development Kathy Nelson. "We're confident that he will continue this good work in partnership with Dean Randy Hitz and his faculty to garner private support for the College of Education."
Prior to joining UHF, Fukeda served as director of development for Nikkei Concerns, a Seattle-based non-profit that provides elder care and related services. His 11 years of fundraising and development experience also includes work with SAFECO Corporation in Seattle where he managed an $8.1 million corporate contributions budget, staffed the corporate contributions committee and oversaw its grant tracking system, and directed its community relations campaign which involved working with 3,300+ employees, administering an in-kind donations program, and coordinating a volunteer program.
