kannatusjäsenyydeksi

Kannatusjäsenyys is a term often encountered in the context of Finnish associations and organizations. It refers to a type of membership that provides financial support to the organization without necessarily granting the same voting rights or active participation opportunities as a full member.

Individuals or entities become kannatusjäseniksi by paying a membership fee, which then contributes to the organization's operational budget, project funding, or general sustainability. This form of membership is valuable for associations that rely on external support to carry out their activities, whether they are cultural, social, sports-related, or otherwise.

The specific rights and responsibilities associated with kannatusjäsenyys are typically defined in the organization's statutes or bylaws. While kannatusjäsenet may not have the right to vote at general meetings, they are often acknowledged for their contribution and may receive certain benefits, such as newsletters, event invitations, or discounts. This membership category allows a broader base of supporters to engage with and contribute to an organization's mission.
