Donate to the University of Lapland

Through our research, education and artistic engagement we are working to support northern societies, communities and their economic progress both in Finland and internationally.

Our strategy underpins our commitment to promote sustainable development, well-being and equity both locally and globally. Your giving helps us create opportunities.

Our mission is to produce new knowledge and competence from the arctic perspective so that life in the Arctic can continue to thrive in the future: we strive to ensure prosperity and well-being in this area as both individuals and communities are encouraged to take responsibility, and our global networks focused on arctic issues are harnessed to benefit our strategic aims.

Your donation to the University of Lapland’s research, education and artistic activities benefits the university and northern societies today and in the future. We also develop individualised giving plans for donors who wish to support the University of Lapland by targeting their giving.

Most of the funding of the Finnish universities is core funding from the state, but this funding alone is insufficient to accomplish our goals of developing education and large-scale research and artistic activities. The state also obliges universities to actively seek funding from external sources and through the matched-funding scheme encourages universities to engage in fundraising.

At the beginning of 2010, with the changes in the law governing universities, the status of our university changed from a government agency to a public-law entity with an independent financial position.

Your donation will directly support the operation of the University of Lapland (Universities Act, section 2). The donation is gratuitous and without conditions.

The data submitted with your donation will be stored in the University of Lapland’s donation database (see Privacy Policy). Based on the Act on the Openness of Government Activities, all information concerning donations (donor, amount, targeting) shall be public.

The University of Lapland has a fundraising permit (number RA/2020/1016) granted by the National Police Board of Finland. The permit is valid from 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2022 in Finland, excluding Åland.
