Event
Ben Franklin touring education and fundraising shows
This creative example of fundraising educational entertainment seems to SOFII to be very flexible and potentially easy to copy.
Jeansforgenes: statues wearing jeans
This is an original and fun idea that seems great for attracting awareness and as a backdrop against which the charity can easily rasie money from an intrigued and amused public.
The GIVING WELLY Campaign
SOFII doesn’t have many rules but this exhibit nevertheless breaks a few of them, in that it focuses not on a charity/nonprofit but on a commercial sponsor. Still, it’s a colourful, creative idea very well executed and several charities benefited rather significantly from it. It strikes us as a sound win-win situation, a good example of both commerce/charity partnership and of charities working together.
Uzhgorod City’s ‘path to life’ concert
This is a straightforward but very professionally run event, the first of its kind in Uzhgorod. The objective of the event was to raise money to support the centre and to introduce the concept of a benefit concert to the local community.
Greenpeace: the virtual march for whales
If only whales everywhere could realise the great things that are being done all around the world by ordinary people to protect them and make this planet a safe place for them.

These campaigns successfully united several established fundraising techniques including building corporate alliances and the use of new and old media.
ActionAid ‘Bollocks to Poverty’ campaign
This is a very brave campaign. It talks directly to young people in the language they use everyday, with no punches pulled.
ITIHAS (I Think I Have a Solution) leadership workshop
