Governmental matched funding campaign
The Finnish Government will provide Finnish universities with capitalisation in 2020-2022 thanks to a one-off contribution of €100 million allocated by the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra.
Of this sum, €67 million will be allocated based on the private capital raised by the universities in the Government’s matched funding campaign. Each donated euro may yield up to 2.5 euros as long as the donation follows the rules of the campaign. The fundraising campaign will run until 30 June 2022. A total of €33 million of Sitra’s support will be allocated to the universities on the basis of research impact criteria.
Your donation to the matched funding campaign is a contribution that benefits the arts on a wide scale. The donation cannot be earmarked for a specific field of education.
You can participate in Uniarts Helsinki’s matched funding campaign by making a bank transfer to our fundraising account.
