SOAP supports the following Projects.

Punk Journey: is a multimedia website showcasing the History of the Melbourne Punk Scene from 1977 – 1987.

This in-depth research project is essentially an online museum consisting of archival material from the Melbourne punk, post-punk and hardcore punk scene between the years 1977-1987.

This material is often rare in nature and includes written documentation, interviews, photos, flyers, video footage and MP3 tracks.

The Wayward Woman Giving Fund (WWGF) encourages women to become micro-philanthropists by giving them the opportunity to be part of a collective giving community. Collective giving is an accessible way for anyone to join with others by pooling smaller amounts to fund social change and make a substantial cumulative impact in their community. 

The Wayward Woman Giving Fund aims to raise and distribute funds to Australian non-profit organisations and individual projects that support and benefit four key areas:  

Women, Children, The Arts and The Environment.
