Hei,

tällä kertaa rahoituskirjeessä on hyvinkin erilaiseen toimintaan tarkoitettuja rahoitushakuja. Olen myös listannut rahoitushakuja, joista voitte kertoa yhteistyökumppaneillenne.

Olen myös yrittänyt löytää rahoitusta Covid-2019 tilanteeseen liittyen. Joitakin rahoitushakuja löysin ja jos löydän vielä lisää, niin laitan uuden rahoitusviestin lähiaikoina.

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.

Voikaa hyvin ja pysykää terveinä, Helena Helena Nevalainen Asiantuntija – järjestöjen kehitysyhteistyö | Fingo +358 50 3176729 | helena.nevalainen@fingo.fimailto:helena.nevalainen@fingo.fi
