General support for Luontoliitto’s annual operations
The Finnish Nature Association is an environmental organization for children and youth, founded in 1943. It operates throughout Finland. The Finnish Nature Association organizes nature camps, clubs, and educational programs. Its youth action groups engage in societal advocacy on environmental issues. The Association’s annual campaigns, Buy Nothing Day and Spring Watch (Kevätseuranta), are among the country’s most well-known and long-standing environmental initiatives.
Project grant for Animalia’s broiler campaign (2025–2026).
The broiler is the most common bird in Finland, yet it remains invisible in public discourse. Over recent decades, the consumption of broiler meat has increased significantly and is expected to continue growing. More than 80 million intensively farmed broiler chickens are slaughtered annually in Finland. Animalia believes it's time to see broilers as individuals – not as raw materials or food products. The goal of the campaign is to reduce broiler meat production and shift consumption in Finland toward plant-based proteins.
Africa 2030
The UNICEF donor group supports work in Sierra Leone and Angola to promote lasting structural changes and provide more children and young people with equal opportunities for a better life. In Angola, the program strengthens access to information and services related to sexual and reproductive health, child protection, and education. The aim is to promote gender equality and prevent teenage pregnancies. In Sierra Leone, the focus is on improving the quality of early childhood and primary education, learning materials, and youth employment skills. This work is carried out in close collaboration with ministries, local authorities, and grassroots organizations. The realization of children's rights in Africa has a major global impact: one in four children in the world currently lives in Africa, and by 2050 the proportion is expected to rise to 40%.
Youth Climate Food and Sustainable Public Catering
Viral Vegans implements the Youth Climate Food and Sustainable Public Catering projects to promote plant-based diets and animal rights.

Education and community in environmental policy and nature spaces
This project will inspire youth to learn about environmental policy at both international and national levels, bring the voice of young people into environmental decision-making, connect youth with their local environments and teach people about nature. The project will have a strong focus on diversity, making nature spaces and activism more inclusive to those from marginalised backgrounds.
