Why Mesenaatti

Around an athlete, a team and a club there is a ready-made community: family, friends, fans and local businesses. A campaign gives them one place to show their support and follow the campaign's progress.

A campaign can be run by an individual, a group, an association or a company. A campaign for a minor athlete needs an adult as organiser, for example a guardian or a club.

Successful campaigns

These are finished campaigns that passed their goal. Every campaign is different, and past results do not guarantee the next one.

Choose a campaign format

Campaign proceeds are taxable income. Check the tax questions before you start. If you collect donations, also check what the rules on small-scale collections and fundraising permits require.

How to get started

  1. Register and write your campaign page. Explain what the money is for, who it helps and how the funds will be used.
  2. Choose the format and the goal. Set the minimum goal and the duration, and rewards if you use them.
  3. Publish and share. The campaign is reviewed before it goes live. Share the link in your networks and keep supporters updated.
  4. Receive the funds. Once the campaign passes its minimum goal, you verify your identity and the funds are transferred to the bank account you name, minus Mesenaatti's commission.
