Transform Hawaiʻi Government is a coalition that advocates for a tech-savvy government that is efficient, responsive, and transparent enabling citizens, communities, and businesses throughout Hawaiʻi to thrive. In May 2020, $17 million in funds were appropriated by the legislature for an ambitious modernization project: a unified Financial Management System (FMS).

To address the complex systemic issues made worse by the COVID-19 crisis, Keoni Lee, Ashley Lukens, and Lisa Maruyama joined forces to launch the Kūkulu Switchboard. The founders sought to build a tech tool that equitably and transparently facilitates connections between resources and needs, connects sectors, and provides a representative landscape of opportunities.
