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 endowed professorship in ownership. 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! Your donation will be used entirely for the purpose you have chosen.

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

Read more about donor recognition (e.g. named seats, Kauppis 110 donor event and Donors' Wall) here. The online donations are monitored on a weekly basis, and we will contact all those eligible for the different forms of recognition.

Government matching funding campaign

Your donation can now be even more impactful, because Sitra, the Finnish Innovation Fund, will capitalise universities by EUR 100 million, of which EUR 67 million will be distributed in proportion to the donations received by universities in 2020-2022. The matching funding will be added to the university's basic capital. A donation allocated to Business and Economics of EUR 10,000 or more is eligible for matching funding for the university. A donation allocated to Business and Economics of less than EUR 10,000 is not eligible for matching funding, neither is a donation allocated to the School of Business International Student Exchange.

Donations between 850 euros and 500 000 euros per year are deductible and the total donation sum may consist of separate installments. Read more on Finnish Tax Administration's website:
