The organization receives funding from the Finnish government and distributes it to recipients based on individual circumstances and needs.

Köyhyydelle provides a range of services, including financial assistance, food packages, and emergency aid. It also operates community centers where individuals can receive guidance and support. In addition to financial assistance, Köyhyydelle helps clients access other benefits, such as housing assistance, health care, and education.

The organization also offers support for vulnerable populations, including asylum seekers, single parents, and people with disabilities. Its goal is to provide comprehensive support to empower individuals to become self-sufficient and improve their overall well-being. With the assistance of social workers, job counselors, and other personnel, Köyhyydelle helps individuals and families navigate complex welfare systems and connect with community resources.

Throughout Finland, Köyhyydelle has a network of local offices and teams that provide support to thousands of people each year.
