What is a Community partnership?
Support for Helsinki Pride Event
Helsinki Pride is Finland's largest cultural and human rights event, growing stronger yearly in its support for equality. Our event is primarily funded through our own fundraising efforts. It is important to us to ensure that our community continues to have a safe and successful experience, one that everyone can participate in, regardless of their financial situation – unlike in many other countries, where ticket sales are used to cover event production costs.
With the support of our community partners, we cover the event's production costs, make the event even more impactful, and together, we advocate for human rights.

Strong impact
Partnering with the Helsinki Pride community is a strong and visible statement that your organization supports rainbow rights and is committed to promoting equality and fairness within its operations and in society.
This partnership offers an excellent opportunity to take concrete actions that accelerate your organization's social responsibility efforts and positively impact the surrounding community.
