Donor recognition

All supporters of the School of Business have the opportunity of being recognized in the new main building through a piece on the Abacus Donors’ Wall, with a named chair, or a piece on the Major Donors’ Wall (read more here.)

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. 

By donating at least 1000 euros (cumulative donation) as an individual, you can have a chair named after you. All the donations made by an individual are added together, so that if a donor has, for instance, donated 850 euros before, a new donation worth of 150 euros entitles him or her to a named chair.

Donations of at least 850 euros per year can be directly deducted from your taxes (in Finland). More information on the tax deduction possibility can be found at the bottom of the page.

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 Relations Specialist Fiona Jokivuolle ([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.
