Rahoittamat

Rahoittamat is a Finnish term used to describe items, proposals, or projects that have not received funding in a given financing round or budget process. The word is formed from the verb rahoittaa, meaning to fund, with a negative or unfunded sense. In practice, it appears in budget documents, grant round summaries, and project portfolios to distinguish unfunded entries from those that have been funded.

Grammatical use and nuance: rahoittamat can function as an attributive adjective, as in rahoittamat hankkeet (the unfunded projects), and can also be used as a substantive form referring to “the unfunded ones” in lists or headings. In many official contexts, alternative expressions such as rahoittamattomat hakemukset or hakemukset, jotka eivät saaneet rahoitusta, are common. Rahoittamat is one of several forms that may appear in sector-specific language or less formal communication.

Contexts and implications: the term is primarily administrative and classificatory, signaling status rather than evaluating merit. It is typically contrasted with rahoitetut, meaning funded, or with phrases describing partial funding or conditional funding. The use of rahoittamat can reflect decisions by funding bodies, budget allocations, or priorities, and it may be updated as funding decisions change.

See also: rahoitus, rahoittaminen, rahoituspäätös, tutkimusrahoitus. Note that in standard Finnish, more common adjectives for unfunded are rahoittamaton or rahoittamat, depending on syntactic role, while other forms like rahoittamattomat hakemukset are also used in practice.
