In September 2022, the CIOF invited SOFII to present a webinar on our favourite Giving Tuesday ideas. This was added to the resources page of the Giving Tuesday UK website and features campaigns celebrated at IWITOT: The Americas 2022.

You don’t have to choose between dignity and donations

Across the sector, organisations have been challenging stereotypes, questioning power dynamics and thinking more carefully about how to represent the people they help.
