The Showcase of Fundraising Innovation and Inspiration (SOFII) is to become an integral
part of the Resource Alliance’s service offering. It will retain its discrete identity
and founder Ken Burnett is to remain as project manager for SOFII in the medium-
term. If all goes well, over time it will be integrated more fully into the Resource
Alliance’s portfolio.

SOFII seeks to provide fundraisers everywhere with a comprehensive, easily accessible
archive of the best creative fundraising from around the world. Anyone can nominate
innovative, inspirational or instructive fundraising concepts for inclusion in the
site, and links will be added to all the best fundraising websites globally.

The organisation is aiming to have 200 or more individual exhibits on the website
by the end of 2008 and to have a minimum of 3,000 fundraisers registered for the
site. Registration is free.

Simon Collings, chief executive of the Resource Alliance said: “SOFII is a great
resource for fundraisers around the world and complements many of the educational
initiatives we are involved in. We are delighted to be working with Ken on this 
project.”

Ken Burnett, founder of SOFII said: “There’s been a hugely positive response to 
the idea of SOFII from fundraisers around the world, particularly those in the USA
and Australia as well as in the UK. However, working with the Resource Alliance 
will help bring SOFII’s free service to fundraisers in many developing markets and
so will greatly assist the sharing and spreading of fundraising best practice across
the world.”

SOFII is looking for an editor/website manager who will be based at the Resource
Alliance’s office in London and will help build and develop the resource to be of
lasting value to fundraisers and campaigners worldwide.
