Join us as a regular donor

A celebration coming up? Ask your friends and family to donate to a cause important to you. A dedicated collection is also a beautiful way of honouring the memory of a loved one.

Set up an online fundraiser

As a digital fundraiser, you can participate in helping in Finland and abroad. Companies can set up a collection for their staff or cooperation partners, too. Share your online collection on social media and via email.

Instructions and tips for an online fundraiser

Collect using bank transfers

If online collecting seems too technical, you can also collect the traditional way by directing funds to the Red Cross bank account. Instructions:

1. Provide those participating in your special day with the account number for your donation target

• The Finnish Red Cross’s Disaster Relief Fund: OP FI52 5000 0120 4156 73
• Supporting Red Cross activities in Finland: OP FI29 5000 0120 4156 99

2. Ask participants to enter the name of the special day in the message field, e.g. ‘Bob’s 60th Birthday’ 

3. Please enter information about your special anniversary or memorial donation on this form.

• Tell us about the special day collection before the participants make their donations, then we'll be able to inform you the summary of the collection.

• PLEASE NOTE If you want to direct the donations for example to victims of the crisis in Ukraine or to Youth Shelters, add this information on the form under ‘Further information’.

4. You will be informed of the donated sum approximately two weeks after the event by email. 

We are happy to accept donations of undamaged clothing and goods.

• Take your donations to Kontti stores.
• See if there are any Red Cross second-hand shops where you live.
• You can also make clothes or blankets yourself.

See further instructions on donating clothing and goods

Make emergency aid possible. Sign up as a volunteer box collector or digital fundraiser.

• Box collectors collect donations in the streets or take a collection box e.g. to their workplace. 
• Digital fundraisers share an emergency aid collection online or set up their own collection. 

Signing up does not bind you to anything. You will receive information during disaster situations and on Hunger Day when your help is needed.

Sign up to collect donations

In addition to your loved ones, you can help those in need through your will. 

If you are considering making a bequest to the Finnish Red Cross, you can receive assistance on drawing up your will free of charge.
