Being an ethical fundraiser is hugely important. So itโ€™s no surprise that across the sector, organisations have been challenging stereotypes, questioning power dynamics and thinking carefully about how to represent the people they help.

In the UK alone, legacy income is forecast to hit ยฃ5.1 billion in the next five years, and double again by 2050.*

But hereโ€™s what is different this year: itโ€™s not just the big charities catching on. Itโ€™s grassroots organisations and local causes. And thatโ€™s why we are thrilled to tell you that Fundraising Everywhereโ€™s Legacy and In-Memory Fundraising Conference is BACK! And itโ€™s bigger and better than ever.

Please join us in thanking our IWITOT 2026 sponsors for their kindness and generosity. Every sponsor is lifting up our fundraising community and showing they care about great fundraising.

Fundraisers are facing huge opportunities and challenges. But in uncertain times, it can be hard to know what to prioritise.

To help you navigate a way forward, SOFII partner Blackbaud has gathered insights from leading voices across the world in a collection of 19 insightful essays. If you read one a day, or even one a week, they will help you to adapt, grow, and navigate change.

Some of our favourite pieces from this collection include:

I Wish Iโ€™d Thought of That (IWITOT) is back on Wednesday, 25 November 2026 โ€“ and early bird tickets are now available.

We are thrilled to invite you to our much-loved event. Each speaker has seven minutes to champion a fundraising campaign or concept that they wish theyโ€™d thought of themselves. But there is a catchโ€ฆ all speakers must speak about someone elseโ€™s idea, not their own. Egos are banned for the day!

IWITOT is fully hybrid, with speakers presenting to a live audience both in-person and online. So, no matter where you are in this big, wide worldโ€ฆ you can join us.

This year in-person attendees will be returning to the St Bride Foundation in London. Itโ€™s a Grade II listed building that boasts original fine red brickwork, terracotta dressings, and a steeply pitched roof.

Weโ€™d love for you to join us, either in-person or online. Click here to secure your place and youโ€™ll enjoy 30 per cent off your ticket. But hurry, this is our best deal and in-person places are limited!

We have already received a number of applications from enthusiastic IWITOT 2026 hopefuls. But itโ€™s not too late for YOU to apply to become a speaker โ€“ by telling us the great fundraising idea you wish youโ€™d thought of.

As always, speaking at IWITOT is about celebrating the work of your fellow fundraisers and inspiring others. No prior speaking experience is required, and if you need extra support, we will offer you a mentor to help you craft your seven minute presentation.

Itโ€™s about navigating a mix of platforms, tools, data, and expectationsโ€ฆ all while trying to hit targets and prove whatโ€™s actually working.

Newsfeeds are full, and inboxes are busy. So, to make digital work in 2026, youโ€™ve got to be a creative director, analytics whizz, user experience (UX) hero and conversion copywriter. ๐Ÿ˜…

Throw in ever-changing platform updates, legal requirements and changing giving behaviour, no wonder itโ€™s so tough to keep up to date.

Legacies are a source of essential income for charities. The latest data from the Legacy Futures and Smee & Ford Legacy Giving Report 2026, revealed that legacy income raised over ยฃ4.4 billion of vital charitable funding in 2025, with a record 17.4 per cent of estates at probate now including a charitable gift.

So, itโ€™s wonderful when SOFII sees a charity putting a huge amount of thought and effort into their legacy appeals.

UK-based charity Freedom from Torture have been making a point of including the legacy conversation in more of their donor communications. But a sincere, uncomplicated direct mail appeal has done plenty of heavy lifting too โ€“ securing them those all-important legacy pledges.

In this new case study Heather Weyman (MacTaggart) explains how Freedom from Torture created the appeal and shares the results so far. Find out more here: https://sofii.org/case-study/freedom-from-torture-legacy-direct-mail-appeal
