Software and services provider Blackbaud Europe has become the first technology partner and lead sponsor for SOFII, the Showcase of Fundraising Innovation and Inspiration. The SOFII Foundation will use Blackbaud’s technology to better serve its members.
“With Blackbaud’s support, SOFII will be able to reach out to more fundraisers, providing them with innovative ideas and information so they can make an even greater difference for the causes they serve,” said Ken Burnett, The SOFII Foundation’s managing trustee.
Over the past two years SOFII has published 300 editorials and special exhibits comprising more than 750 pages of fundraising content.

“We are excited to be working with SOFII, to help with the website’s development, communications and the associated relationship management,” said Martin Jervis, Blackbaud Europe’s managing director. “We see SOFII as an increasingly important resource for fundraisers all over the world, so it’s vital that it can communicate regularly, appropriately, and effectively with all its important audiences; tailoring that communication to its users’ needs.”
