Two years ago something incredible happened.
www.sofii.org
Some people came together to test an idea.
www.sofii.org
The Joffe Foundation
The White Lion Press
To create a place to share our experiences
www.sofii.org
To share what worked…
www.sofii.org
A place to record our history
www.sofii.org
To celebrate the very best of us.
www.sofii.org
A place everyone can get to…
www.sofii.org
To raise more money...
www.sofii.org
To make the world better.
www.sofii.org
This simple idea is transforming the way we learn…
www.sofii.org
SOFII is a website...
www.sofii.org
And a charitable foundation.
www.sofii.org
11,000+ visits from 7,000 fundraisers every month and growing all the time.
www.sofii.org
There are over 750 pages of fundraising resources…
www.sofii.org
Available to anyone…
www.sofii.org
For free.
www.sofii.org
Fundraisers are grateful.

Paul, European health care organisation, UK
www.sofii.org
“As usual I found the new items on the website quite fascinating.
I have passed the one on the Innovative Annual Report to the person who normally does this for us. Thanks
for this wonderful website. Keep it up!”
Luis, university, Kenya
www.sofii.org
“I can’t believe how fast SOFII is growing! It’s an incredible resource even now,
and the exciting thing is that it’s getting better every day. Thank you for all your
hard work and passion and the difference that you are making for our good.”
Esther, child care foundation, Auckland, New Zealand
www.sofii.org
They thank us every month.
www.sofii.org
“I am going to introduce SOFII to over 250 delegates at the South Asian International Fundraising Workshop in Agra, for there is immense treasure there and many of the budding fundraisers ought to know of this.
Hope this will reach you to a lot many more SOFII activists. Congratulations once again
for the tremendous work done.”
Surat, fundraiser’s training organisation, India
www.sofii.org
“Just had to write and say how utterly brilliant SOFII is. Thank you from the bottom
of my heart for this wonderful site!”
Alison, children’s services charity, UK.
www.sofii.org
“We LOVE SOFII! You are our secret weapon for ideas.”
Karen, CEO, United Way chapter, USA
www.sofii.org
The SOFII pilot has proven that fundraisers
have an insatiable need to share and learn
www.sofii.org
It is time to move beyond the pilot.
www.sofii.org
In 2010 SOFII will be relaunched.
www.sofii.org
Still free, but…
www.sofii.org
Easier to look at.
Easier to use.
Easier to add more exhibits.
We will keep breaking our own records.
Even if we do nothing SOFII will
keep growing.
But that isn’t good enough.
Fundraisers want a museum.
Fundraisers want a hall of fame…
Fundraisers want information,
inspiration and new ideas.
Fundraisers want to help each
other be successful.
Carolina Herrera, Gwain Colbert, Kimberley MacKenzie, Hannah Perkins, Qasar Daniel, Gonzalo Ibarra, Jan Uekermann, Sudeshna Mukherjee, Gabriele Bryant, Ken Burnett,
Sean Triner, Christiana Stergiou, Mal Warwick, John Lepp, Jenny Thompson, Kay Sprinkel Grace, Roger Carver, Lisa Sargent
So we have created an international
volunteer workforce…
Launched the new website (with over 750 pages!)
Raised $80,000 USD
Formalized more partnerships
Developed a long-term sustainable business model
By January 2010 we will have:
So we can help more fundraisers like Gwain.
The Joffe Foundation • Harvey McKinnon & Associates • Think FoundationMal Warwick • Stephen Thomas • Kay Sprinkel Grace • Jenny Thompson
Dick Mcpherson • Burnett Works • Daryl Upsall • Ken BurnettLisa Sargent • Laurie Pringle • Kimberley MacKenzie
Close to $45,000 USD raised so far
These people believe this next step is worth
giving money to.

Can you share your work?
