kannatusjäseneksi
Kannatusjäseneksi refers to a type of membership in an organization, often a non-profit association or club, where the member provides financial or other support without necessarily participating in the core activities or having voting rights. This membership category is designed for individuals or entities who wish to contribute to the organization's mission and operations but do not require active involvement. The term translates from Finnish as "supporter member" or "contributing member." Benefits for kannatusjäsenet can vary widely, but they often include receiving organizational newsletters, invitations to events, or public acknowledgment of their support. The specific rights and responsibilities of kannatusjäseneksi are typically defined in the organization's bylaws or statutes. This form of membership allows organizations to broaden their financial base and engage a wider network of supporters, thereby strengthening their overall capacity to achieve their goals. It is a common practice in many cultural, sports, and social organizations.
