Historians without Borders in Finland opened a small-scale money collection to support the association's activities. The collection is valid until 30 November 2025.
Historians without Borders in Finland is a Finnish non-governmental organisation whose mission, in accordance with the Declaration of Historians without Borders, is to promote general historical knowledge and the use of history in conflict resolution and prevention. We regularly organise events and projects for both Finnish and international audiences to promote the aims of our declaration. In addition, Historian without Borders in Finland acts as the secretariat of the international network of Historians without Borders, founded in 2016 on a Finnish initiative.
In recent years, the association has been awarded a grant from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland for activities related to foreign and security policy and international commitments. This grant, together with the income from membership fees, has enabled the association to carry out its activities and to contribute to the preparation of projects.
However, the cuts in state subsidies and public funding for organisations also affect Historians without Borders in Finland, along with many other NGOs. Recently, the association has seen a significant cut in its grant compared to previous years. Our association, like many other NGOs, has seen its operating conditions jeopardised as a result of these cuts.
Due to the challenging financial situation, we launched a small collection on 1 September 2025 with the primary aim of raising funds to cover the costs of events, projects and publications carried out by the association. The collection is open until 30 November 2025.
By taking part in the small collection, you will support our work to promote general awareness of history and the use of historical knowledge in conflict resolution. Any kind of support, large or small, is welcome. Many thanks for your support!
This is the association’s second small-scale collection. The first small-scale fundraising campaign, held in the summer of 2024, raised a total of €6,907. The funds raised have been used to support the association’s activities, such as venue, catering, and travel expenses for public events. Many thanks to everyone who has participated in the small-scale fundraising campaign so far!
