Donations and bequests
A total of 170,000 Finns took part in the initial fundraising campaign for the Finnish Cultural Foundation in 1938. The story of our origin is a good example of the power of people working together. The tradition of donating continues to this day, and we receive significant donations every year. Large donations are set up as new donor funds, with the aim of focusing the support on the scientific, artistic or cultural sector specified by the donor.
