This document discusses Soroptimist International's funding sources and programs. It notes that 90% of funds raised by clubs stays in their local communities, while 10% supports federation dream programs. In 2015-2016, nearly $1.7 million was raised to fund programs, with club giving, the Laurel Society, and Founders Pennies making up the largest sources. However, there is still a funding gap. The Live Your Dream Awards received almost 2,000 applications but could only fund 40 awards due to current funding levels. Individual giving through the Laurel Society has raised $10 million since 1994 to help women and girls. The document calls for members to help close funding gaps and work toward a common, specific, achie

Are you using agile in your financial services marketing? Agile is being heavily adopted by marketers in financial services. Learn how agile marketing can deliver on the promise of speed to market in a way that powers smart decision making and enables marketing teams to anticipate and response to changing customer needs.
Building an Agile for Marketing Strategy by CMG Partners for MENGCMG Partners
Originally created as a Marketing Executives Network Group webinar (MENGinar), this slideshare is for the marketing executive wanting to know more about Agile for Marketing and how it has helped companies improve performance and champion the customer. They want to know how it works and how to get started with this modern approach to marketing.
A state of continual disruption is today’s status quo—and marketing is tapped with facing down external forces that range from new technology and media to a more informed, less patient, and ever evolving customer.
In the face of so much change, the traditional marketing model of long-term planning and campaigns that take months to execute no longer fits. To address today’s always-on marketing landscape, innovative marketers are adopting a new approach called Agile. It’s a methodology being adapted for marketing from its origin in software development that enables a more data-driven, iterative approach to marketing.
While Agile for Marketing (A4M™) can be a big adjustment requiring leadership and commitment, this new approach gives structure to strategic goals and serves to champion the customer, speed time to market, and improve performance.
This MENGinar provides examples of companies using Agile for Marketing to:
- Improve the customer experience.
- Enhance the rapid learning capabilities of the marketing organization.
- Set data-driven priorities that align across the company.
- Transform into a more accountable, adaptable marketing organization.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Presentation by Jared Jageler, David Adler, Noelia Duchovny, and Evan Herrnstadt, analysts in CBO’s Microeconomic Studies and Health Analysis Divisions, at the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists Summer Conference.
Welcome to our conversation! <Today/tonight> we are going to talk about the dreams we all share as Soroptimists and how we can help to make those dreams come true. I am ______________, a member of the Fundraising Council, and a member of SI __________ in _________Region. I want to thank all of you who are joining us! We have members from X clubs representing XX of our 28 regions. Also on the call are the region fundraising chairs from <REGION NAMES> and <ANY GOVS OR OTHER LEADERS ON THE CALL>.
<<Housekeeping stuff, how to mute, etc >>
I am sure there are many reasons you joined Soroptimist. Maybe you saw the work other Soroptimists were doing in your local community and wanted to join them. Or perhaps your best friend or sister was a Soroptimist and convinced you to join. Or maybe you have always been passionate about improving the lives of women and girls and discovered Soroptimist as a way to connect to that passion.
But there are many volunteer organizations that do great work—so why choose Soroptimist? Being a Soroptimist means being a part of something bigger than your local community. It is belonging to a global movement to create change for women and girls and ending gender inequality. Individually, we each have different roles: club member, club president, region governor, staff member, board member. But united, we are a global force for change.
It is your Club Giving contributions that allow us to deliver on the international promise of our organization. By making a club giving contribution of at least 10% of what your club raises locally in the name of Soroptimist, you are joining with all the other clubs in saying “90% of what we have raised in our community stays here to support our important women and girl-focused programs. But the other 10% is going to help fund the dream programs our global organization is known for, enabling us to deliver on our mission to make the entire world a better place for women and girls.” By making a contribution to support our federation’s programs like the Live Your Dream Awards, your club helps to increase funding for these awards so that more can be given to more women in need, supports the ongoing development and implementation of the program, and ensures that this life-changing program can continue to thrive. Without the support of clubs through Club Giving, this program would not have the resources it needs.
81% of all Soroptimist clubs made a Club Giving contribution last year, which provided about 39% of the total funds raised for our programs. Individual donations recognized in the Laurel Society provide another 35% of funding and Founders Pennies contributions account for approximately 10%. Thanks to the support of clubs and individuals, a total of $1,739,444 was raised last year to fund our life-changing programs – however that is only enough to cover 68% of the total costs it takes to deliver these programs.
The remaining 32% of our program costs are currently being covered through our investment income. Ideally, there should be no gap and contributions should fund 100% of the cost of our federation’s programs. It is our goal to close this gap. That is why we are asking each of you to lead the conversation in your club and advocate for participating in Club Giving this year. If every club made a donation of at least 10% of the money they raise as Soroptimists, we would raise enough funding to not only sustain, but grow the Live Your Dream Awards, Dream It, Be It, and Soroptimist Club Grants, to impact the lives of even more women and girls.
Funding for these programs is needed now more than ever. Did you know that in the 2015-2016 award period we received nearly 2,000 at-large applications for our Live Your Dream Awards? Every year the number of women applying who do not live near a Soroptimist club continues to increase as the awareness of the Live Your Dream Awards grow. However, our funding for these at-large awards is not keeping up at the same pace and, out of these nearly 2,000 deserving women, we could only give awards to 40 of them. We dream of being able to give an award to at least 40% of the women who apply this way, so that whether a woman applies through a local club such as your own, or through the at-large process, she has about the same chance of receiving a Live Your Dream Award. If every club gave an extra $100 this year, there would be enough funding to give an additional 130 women a Live Your Dream Award. Through your club’s generosity, we can help so many more deserving women in need.
Individual gifts recognized through the Laurel Society also provide a critical source of funding for our programs. Since 1994, more than 6,000 Laurel Society members have contributed nearly $10 million to help empower women through the Live Your Dream Awards and other programs. The incredible generosity of donors throughout our federation ensures that our global programs improve the lives of women and girls from California to South America to the Philippines and everywhere in between.
And now, individual donors can direct their Laurel Society contributions to support the program that is most meaningful to them. Donors can designate their gift to provide funding for the Live Your Dream Awards, Dream It, Be It, or to unrestricted program support to ensure all of our federation’s programs have the funding they need. The choice is completely up to you! You can even designate your monthly gift, the easiest way to support Soroptimist programs while also increasing your recognition level in the Laurel Society. A gift of $25 per month could help a woman buy textbooks for an entire year, and $50 can provide child care so she can attend classes. Please consider becoming a monthly donor and encourage others in your clubs to become one as well. Your support will help us close our funding gap to ensure the costs of our federation’s programs are covered. SIA staff are also working to find corporate sponsors and foundation grants as well as engaging donors through LiveYourDream.org to help raise additional funding outside of our membership. Together, we can all doing our part to make sure the programs we are known for have the resources they need to thrive. We can shift from just sustaining programs like the Live Your Dream Awards to dramatically increasing their reach to more women and girls around the world.
Clubs were recently asked to participate in a survey to consider what we wanted our Big Goal to be for our Centennial, and how we would reach it. How many women would we like to help by 2031 in the first ten years of our next century? Is it one hundred more? One thousand more? A million more? How big are our dreams? What are our shared dreams for the future of our great organization? What can each of us do to help? Imagine the force of 30,000+ Soroptimists across the world dreaming and working together—it’s inspiring what we could accomplish. How many women and girls we could help!
As Soroptimists, we dream of a future where domestic violence no longer exists, where all girls have access to a great education, and gender inequality is but a distant memory. These are big dreams, but I know that working together as Soroptimists, each of us doing our part to support our federation’s life-changing programs, we can make these dreams become a reality.
I imagine you might all have some comments or questions. So let’s take some time to discuss what you’ve just heard about how to make our shared dream of helping even more women and girls a reality. Please give your name and your club. And I’d like to invite the ________ Region Fundraising Chair ______ to join in helping to answer your questions.
