Many initiatives in Finland would benefit from being carried out more frequently and established on a lasting basis

However, they often remain small, local and temporary

Effekt funds initiatives that have growth potential and produce positive, measurable, and long-lasting results. Funding is available to non-profit organizations, research groups, social and other entrepreneurs, for example. The idea and its potential are what matters.

Effekt's financing review focuses on the following aspects:

1) Impact potential

Will  this improve wellbeing in society in a measurable and lasting way? How?

2) Growth potential

How will our financing promote the self-sufficiency or financial sustainability of the solution?

Effekt brings together solution developers, users, and financiers, working closely with them in partnership.

The Solutions Fund Effekt can provide expertise and networks for initiatives, provide loan capital or invest in corporate activities through equity. The form of funding and support is always formulated on a case-by-case basis. The aim of the funding is to remove barriers to growth, increase social impact and thus promote positive change.

Open call

Anyone can present their idea

Is your idea directed toward children and young people, or does it relate to culture, civilisation or democracy? Does it generate value for society? Could it develop into a lasting model in Finland, and what might enable that development?
