Average grants range from \u20ac400-\u20ac600 per family. Donation intake occurs via MobilePay (number 13907), bank transfer (FI14 8000 1971 3807 88), and an online store offering one-time and monthly recurring tiers at \u20ac15/\u20ac25/\u20ac50/\u20ac100. Testamentary bequests are also accepted. The foundation holds fundraising permit RA/2021/385, valid throughout Finland excluding \u00c5land.\n\nRevenue is raised through three streams: individual donations (pay-as-you-go and monthly subscriptions), corporate partnerships, and testamentary bequests. Major corporate partners include CapMan (core partner since 2014), PwC Finland, Mandatum (providing accident insurance to over 1,000 children annually), HIFK (2025-2026 season), the Finnish Athletics Federation (SUL, since 2024), Otava, Aktia, SAM Headhunting, and P\u00e4ivikki ja Sakari Sohlbergin s\u00e4\u00e4ti\u00f6 (Hyv\u00e4n arjen rakentajat program, 2026). Annual donations run \u20ac300,000-\u20ac450,000 and 2023 grant distribution reached \u20ac486,639 across 984 children. Key campaigns include the #Steps4Tukikummit corporate walking challenge (\u20ac4/km), the annual charity gala (\u20ac200,000 raised at the 2025 event), and sports sponsorships. Leadership comprises CEO Emilia \u00c5berg and Chairman Joakim Frimodig (also CapMan Board Chair).
