AISHK raised over HK$300,000

Who

The Australian International School Hong Kong (AISHK) is a private co-educational international school in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong. Established in 1995, it offers education from Reception (kindergarten) through to Year 12.

What

To launch its campaign for the new AISHK Wellness Wing Project, the school hosted a 30th Anniversary Gala in August 2025. This landmark event served as the catalyst for a series of future fundraising initiatives. The project aims to create state-of-the-art play and community areas designed to support the physical and mental wellbeing of all students, from early childhood to secondary school.

How

Based on The Fundraising Agency’s (TFA) recommendations, AISHK has subscribed to Givergy Unlimited License for 12 months which will allow AISHK to run multiple campaigns cost-effectively throughout the year. FA’s Signature Event Package provided Impact Consulting, Dedicated Project Management, and an Onsite Event Team to ensure seamless technology integration and an elevated guest experience. TFA / Givergy sourced “money-can’t-buy” items, including World Cup Final Tickets and a NYC 4-Night Getaway have dramatically increased bidder enthusiasm and participation in both the live and silent auctions. The platform was expertly woven into the event program, making it simple for guests to bid and donate without interrupting the evening’s festivities.

Result

The 30th Anniversary Gala was a resounding success, raising over HK$300,000 and providing powerful momentum for the Wellness Wing Project. The event set a high standard for the upcoming series of fundraising campaigns.

Top Tip: “Enhance fundraising auctions with incredible items. Utilizing cutting-edge technology for bidding, alongside strategies like sealed bids and multi-selling, maximizes fundraising potential and guest satisfaction. We found the best practice is to feature a limited number of exclusive items (3-5) in the live auction and complement it with a strong selection in the silent auction.”
