The total amount of private funding is of vital importance for our work to ensure that we can react rapidly to emerging conflicts and work autonomously. CMI’s private fundraising strategy in Finland is based on three pillars: private individuals, corporate partnerships, and foundations.
CMI accepts donations from individuals and has a circle of private donors who are committed to supporting CMI’s peacebuilding work by donating to us annually. You can donate to us e.g. via an online payment form here.

CMI’s private fundraising efforts rely on cultivating partnerships with companies that strategically support our work. We also continually and systematically seek out Finnish and international partners that could help to finance our work.
