Personal funding
Doctoral research, a travel grant, a hobby or another project of your own: an individual can start a campaign on Mesenaatti in their own name. Explain what you plan to do and what supporters get in return.
A campaign does not require an association or a company. An individual can start a reward campaign on their own and name the account the funds are paid to.
Mesenaatti is meant for projects with a clear goal and a reward to offer supporters. If you need money for everyday expenses or a crisis, first read the campaign formats below and get in touch before you start if needed.
44,008 € 352 backers 43 days
10,700 € 59 backers 44 days
4,825 € 43 backers 33 days
2,840 € 75 backers 18 days
These are finished campaigns that passed their goal. Every campaign is different, and past results do not guarantee the next one.
Anyone can start a reward-based campaign. No fundraising permit or notification is needed, and there is no upper limit on the funding.

An individual cannot collect donations alone. A small-scale collection is organised by a group of at least three people or an association, with a maximum of 10,000 euros.

A doctoral study, a book or a study project can be funded through pre-sales or other rewards, such as a publication or a talk.

Campaign proceeds are taxable income. Check the tax questions before you start. Report it on your tax return and find out which expenses are deductible.
Tell us about your project and we will work out a suitable way to raise funding.
