Why are we here? To make the world a better place, of course. And we do this by campaigning in all the right ways for social change. Social change organisations don’t succeed by being reasonable, by doing things the way they’ve always been done. The first aspiration of all nonprofit organisations should be to do themselves out of business. All campaigners and fundraisers should be restless challengers of the status quo, never ever satisfied that we are doing quite enough. Why? Because we only exist to change the world. Tour this showcase now.

Are you a born storyteller? Then please share your fundraising stories with us. We’d love to hear about all of your successful experiences and even those that weren’t perhaps quite so triumphant… And if you’ve adapted a SOFII exhibit for your own cause then please let us know how it went. Email Nathalie or Carolina today.

This is your SOFII. Throughout SOFII on all exhibits and articles you will find encouragement and opportunities to help improve the content of SOFII, by adding an experience, airing your views and opinions, sharing your thoughts and letting us know what you like most – and least – on SOFII. Feel free to email SOFII’s development director Nathalie with any of your feedback.

Fundraisers are becoming increasingly professional and sophisticated when it comes to forming partnerships with commercial organisations and also when raising money from them. Corporate donors now are expressing growing interest in what fundraisers have to offer in terms of mutual benefit for their marketing objectives and as they seek to fulfil their obligations in terms of their corporate social responsibility. Is corporate fundraising all it’s cracked up to be? Are companies the best route to the many thousands of potential individual donors that they employ? If so, how should you go about fundraising from the corporate sector and where are the best opportunities? Tour this showcase now.
