The Women's Fund of Hawai`i runs an annual Tea & Champagne tabled fundraising event and wanted to modernize the experience without losing its competitive tradition. Their challenges included selling tables and sponsorships online, keeping table competition visible and ongoing, making donating easy before and during the event, engaging guests with event information, and displaying live fundraising totals. To address this, they partnered with Swell Fundraising to bring a user-friendly digital platform to the event.

Swell Fundraising implemented an event website, online table and sponsor sales, pre- and during-event donation processing, leaderboards and an on-site app, plus a real-time social media feed to drive engagement. The results were dramatic: signature event revenue increased by 50% since the partnership, 30 tables sold (10 guests each), 18,072 event website visits, 300+ related social posts displayed, 360+ individual online donations, $135,170 raised, and 20+ virtual fundraisers—all enabled by Swell Fundraising’s platform.
