Welcome to SOFII

A big hello from the SOFII team and thanks for joining us!

SOFII's project manager

Your feedback is important to us and will help us to improve SOFII. If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact us. You can email Carolina, SOFII’s project manager or Sue, our director of development.

SOFII provides charitable fundraisers with an on-line, easily accessible archive of the best fundraising creativity from around the world. It covers all areas of fundraising from around the world and it is freely available to everyone. We are safeguarding our fundraising history and constantly adding new initiatives as appropriate. We offer resources from which fundraisers can learn and which will stimulate creative and innovative thinking among them.

You can read how SOFII got started here.

Amazing ideas at the click of a button

At SOFII, we present fundraising and campaigning exhibits analysed in detail, with data where possible, and they are usually prepared and submitted by the people responsible for them i.e. fundraisers themselves.

Use our search function to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. You’ll find it in the top yellow box on the right hand column on our home page and our Halls and Showcases page.

Join in the debate

In our reading rooms we feature top tips, opinion pieces and analysis relevant to fundraisers everywhere. Our focus is on appropriate and well-written material in an easily digested format and found in one place.

Each exhibit and article has a comment box. Please feel free to use it to connect and share your thoughts with your fellow fundraisers. It’s your SOFII and we’d love to hear from you. Please note that whilst SOFII welcomes open discussion and different schools of thought we will not post inappropriate comments or those that may cause offence.

Leave your mark on SOFII

SOFII has been created by fundraisers for fundraisers. It is the flagship programme offered by the SOFII Foundation a UK registered charity. In order to provide fundraisers with this amazing service we need to be well fed and funded. You can donate to SOFII here or feed us your stories by sending them here.

We hope you enjoy mining the treasures in the SOFII archives and find your moments of inspiration too.

Congratulations on getting this site up - it's great - I have had a go with the search facilities and already learned three things I did not know before. I lookforward to seeing how it develops.

Social media sharing

Can we add some social media sharing buttons to this site?
Would make it easier to spread the word.

We'll add these soon

Sure. Thank you for the suggestion. We have a couple of buttons (RSS feed and Facebook) on the bottom right but I will move this higher up so they become more prominent. I'll be sure to add our Twitter and LinkedIn too. Thanks again for bringing this up - a good reminder indeed.

Carolina.
