Every day presents an opportunity to give back, create positive change, and strengthen connections within our communities. One of the most impactful ways to achieve this is by partnering with a charitable organization like Project Hawai’i, Inc. for your company’s events. Whether it’s a team-building activity, a product launch, a workplace charity event, or simply a special gathering, incorporating fundraising into your plans can brighten lives, inspire teamwork, and leave everyone with the glow that only giving back can bring.
We invite you to be part of our mission to help Hawai’i’s homeless keiki by hosting an event with your team. Whether you focus on meal sponsorships, funds for educational programs, transportation costs, or other impactful goals, your efforts can make a lasting difference.
Why Fundraising Strengthens Your Business
Fundraising isn’t just about collecting donations—it’s about building stronger teams, boosting morale, and creating a company culture that prioritizes social responsibility. Partnering with a cause like Project Hawai’i, Inc. offers numerous benefits:
1. Strengthen Bonds: Working together on a meaningful cause fosters collaboration and builds connections. Teams come together, set aside daily routines, and work toward a shared goal. These experiences often create memories and friendships that last long after the event.
2. Boost Company Culture: Companies that embrace giving back showcase their commitment to making a positive impact. This inspires pride among employees and promotes a sense of purpose, enhancing workplace culture.
3. Enhance Morale: Studies show that contributing to a charitable cause improves mood, reduces stress, and boosts energy levels. Employees feel fulfilled knowing they’re part of something meaningful, which can positively influence overall job satisfaction and productivity.
Ideas for Hosting a Successful Fundraiser
To ensure your fundraising efforts leave a lasting impact, consider these creative approaches:
Set Up a Friendly Challenge: Organize team-based competitions to see who can raise the most funds or collect the most items. Offer fun incentives, like an extra casual dress day or a team lunch, to inspire participation.
More Active Projects:
Plan a bowl a thon and get company sponsorships per team.
Beach Clean Up Potluck: Involve the entire family for an hour of clean up and picnic on the beach. Have local companies and pledges sponsor the charity
Own a product based company? Offer and item for purchase to benefit the charity, or have an in store/social media auction for items. Bakery's are perfect for having a pastry of the day, or buy a dozen and a percentage goes to charity... great way to bump sales.
Create a Giving Hub: Transform your office or event space into a center for giving. Set up donation stations, a “giving tree” with donation tags, or collection boxes for specific items.
Share Impact Stories: Inspire your team by sharing stories of the children and families impacted by Project Hawai’i, Inc. We can provide heartwarming photos, videos, and testimonials to bring the cause to life.
Go Digital: Take your fundraiser online by sharing updates and stories on social media. Post photos or videos of your team’s efforts and include a donation link or QR code for quick and easy contributions.
Host a Virtual Event: For remote teams or multi-location companies, consider virtual fundraisers. Activities like trivia nights, bake-offs, or talent shows are fun ways to connect and raise funds from anywhere.
Silent Auctions: Engage clients and employees with an auction. Whether held in person or online, silent auctions are an enjoyable way to raise funds while shopping for unique items.
