About us
The significance of charitable foundations in our society is notable. Foundations are enablers that make the world a better place and make it possible for dreams to come true. Looking after foundations’ operating conditions therefore benefits the society as a whole.
The Association of Finnish Foundations is a part of the national foundation sector in Finland, as well as the universal third sector. It operates together with other social, scientific, artistic and cultural actors and grant recipients as well as the media.
