How to donate

There are currently three donation options in the School of Business, and they are: 

• School of Business in general
• School of Business International Student Exchange. Read more here.
• School of Business Ownership research and teaching area. Read more here.

Choose the donation option of your preference and join us in supporting the future success of the School of Business and its students! Every donation is valuable for us. Your donation will be used entirely for the purpose you have chosen.

By donating at least 500 euros (one-off donation) as an individual, you will have the possibility of having your name carved into the Donors’ Wall. Donations of at least 850 euros per year can be directly deducted from your taxes (in Finland). By donating at least 1000 euros (cumulative donation) as an individual, you can have a chair named after you. 

In donations of 10 000 euros and more to the School of Business, please contact our Head of External Relations Jonna Söderholm ([email protected]). A deed of donation will be always drafted for donations of 10 000 euros or more. 

The online donations are monitored on a weekly basis, and we will contact all those eligible for the different forms of recognition. Read more about donor recognition here.
