The Solutions Fund Effekt (Ratkaisurahasto Effekt Oy) is a newly established company that supports and finances social projects with measurable, long-term results. Its initial focus is on children and youth, as well as cultural and educational initiatives.
The Alfred Kordelin Foundation has seven dedicated funds that support Finnish science, art, sports, and cultural life in a versatile way. The Gust.
