INTRODUCING SOROPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION
With the establishment of Soroptimist International Foundation, SI will no longer have an International President’s Appeal. The SI President will lead Soroptimist International Foundation, raising awareness of projects and promoting fundraising through continued Soroptimist members giving, and legacies, grants and other funding sources.
Announcement:
We are very pleased to announce a new project in partnership with Soroptimist International (SI) Lumière, Bamako in Mali, West Africa. Read our news story to find out more about this project which will support 100 displaced women and girls.
Being awarded charitable status confirms the integrity and intentions of Soroptimist International Foundation, increasing Soroptimist International’s public profile and reinforcing the organisation’s reputation as a force for good in the world.
Soroptimist International Foundation operates in a similar way to that of previous Soroptimist International Presidents’ Appeals. However, Soroptimists now have a greater say in what type of projects we should support and fund. SI wants to hear from you on the issues we can support which will improve the lives of women and girls -these may be domestic violence, education, health, poverty or homelessness. The list is endless, so please let us know – email us at hq@soroptimistinternational.org and mark your email for the attention of the Chair of Soroptimist International Foundation.
Currently the Soroptimist International Foundation has launched with two projects, although there is limited funding for both projects, hence our call to you to support the work to improve the lives of women and girls across the world. Please give generously to enable us to continue the work of these vital projects.
