Grassroots International 2010 annual report

Grassroots Interenational’s staff diligently take photos during field visits and now they have a wide choice of images to use in their annual report. They also use donor profiles to support their message, so GRI donors are interested and highly involved.


As sacolas de plástico da WaterAid

Este é um projeto brilhante e envolvente, que ocorre por meio de mala direta. O método funciona muito bem porque, além de adequado, serve para engajar o doador.


A Mega Doação: Captação de recursos pela internet

Temos certeza de que muitos captadores de recursos vão achar que é difícil acreditar que, para alguns doadores, em particular os principais doadores, pode ser difícil encontrar uma organização de confiança, e de doadores amigáveis para dar o seu dinheiro. The Big Give é uma inovação que atende ambas às necessidades de doadores e captadores de recursos. Para instituições de caridade, o site é uma oportunidade fantástica e grátis, para mostrar seus projetos, o trabalho real e relevante que grande parte do público deixa de ver, ou perceber as necessidades financeiras.

Plan UK’s innovative new video and Facebook app - Plan Your Story

Morinville and District Hands Across the Seas (HATS) ‘delightful treasures’ event

Small local events often raise small amounts of money. But if there are hundreds nationally, or even internationally, they have the potential to raise thousands. 


Oxfam Hunger £ Million Campaign

The Oxfam Hunger £ Million Campaign is a great example of press advertising that gives an urgent need and a clear call to action. It raised £1,000,000 in three months in 1963. How much would that be worth today? Guess which ad made a SOFII volunteer jump.


WaterAid’s plastic bag mailing

Every day in developing countries thousands of women (mainly) face the difficult task of fetching and carrying water from its source to their homes. It’s a gruelling daily duty most donors would find very hard to imagine. Could this concept be applied imaginatively to a fundraising appeal? Of course it could!


CARE packages: returning to their roots

In this exhibit CARE looked back at their own history and decided to launch a new and improved version of their traditional CARE packages that were first introduced in 1946. Updated with a modern twist, this campaign demonstrates the future of online giving


The history of Live Aid

It’s more than 25 years since this remarkable event, so we thought it was about time we put it on SOFII. In this exhibit we look back at how the idea was conceived and what made it one of the most significant fundraising campaigns of our time.
