Indirect Costs for KFS SRRC Accounts

TO: Principal Investigators and Fiscal Administrators with SRRC Accounts

Effective for the month of September 2023, RCUH indirect cost charges for SRRC accounts have been posted to the RCUH financial system, and transmitted and posted to the UH Kuali Financial System (KFS) within the proper monthly reporting period.

Previously, RCUH indirect cost charges for the months of July and August 2023 were posted to the RCUH financial system within the proper monthly reporting period, but were not transmitted or posted to UH KFS until the following month. UH Project Fiscal Reports for SRRC project accounts for the months of July and August 2023 may reflect incorrect balances.

RCUH Aloha United Way Campaign, Sept 20 – Oct 20, 2023

Today marks the beginning of the annual RCUH Aloha United Way (AUW) Campaign! We hope that you’ll consider making a donation that benefits our community in so many ways. There are hundreds of partner agencies that change lives every day because of your generosity. When designating your gift (minimum of $20), 100% goes to the designated agency. This year, AUW has added Maui Fire Relief to its donor-designated funds.

RCUH employees have access to their own page via the IGNITE platform. Here you’ll be welcomed with a letter from RCUH Executive Director Lenny Gouveia; be able to see how we’re progressing toward our $8,000 goal; and with a few clicks be directed to the giving page where donations may be made by cash, check, credit card, or direct bill. Gifts by credit card and direct bill provide an option to make a one-time payment or installment payments. If you need detailed instructions on how to give, please refer to these instructions.

If one employee can forgo purchasing a gourmet coffee drink each week for three weeks or a plate lunch for one week and donate the funds to AUW, think about the impact 2,500+ RCUH employees can make doing the same! (AUW does not deduct any administrative fee from the donations it receives.) We hope you’ll choose to impact your community this year. The RCUH AUW campaign ends on October 20, 2023. Thank you for your support!

Should you have any questions, please email RCUH Corporate Services at [email protected].
