Hei,  

tällä kertaa rahoituskirjeessä on hyvinkin erilaiseen toimintaan tarkoitettuja rahoitushakuja.

Jos etsit järjestöllenne uusia rahoituslähteitä, niin voit varata minulta ajan rahoitusneuvontaan. Meillä on pääsy pariin rahoitustahojen hakukoneeseen ja voimme yhdessä tutkaille juuri järjestöllenne sopivia rahoitusmahdollisuuksia. Tällä hetkellä tämä neuvonta tietenkin tapahtuu etäyhteyden (zoom tai teams) avulla.

Hyvää pääsiäistä,  

Helena
