perustaaksi

Perustaaksi is a Finnish technology company established in 2018 and headquartered in Helsinki, Finland. The company focuses on developing digital solutions that streamline the establishment and management of foundations, non‑profit organizations, and civil society groups. Its core mission is to improve the operational efficiency of these entities by providing integrated software platforms that handle registration, compliance, reporting, and fundraising activities.

The company’s flagship product, PerustaSuite, is a web‑based application that guides users through the process of registering a foundation with the Finnish Ministry of Finance, managing bylaws, tracking donations, and generating mandatory financial reports. The platform includes features for secure document storage, role‑based access control, and data analytics that help organizations measure impact and allocate resources effectively. PerustaSuite also offers integrations with popular payment gateways and accounting software, enabling seamless financial transactions and bookkeeping.

Perustaaksi has partnered with several leading Finnish NGOs, including the Finnish Red Cross and the Green League Foundation, to pilot its software in real‑world settings. In 2021 the company received a grant from the Finnish Innovation Fund, Konepaja, to expand its research and development efforts in artificial intelligence and machine learning for non‑profit analytics. It has also participated in international conferences on digital governance and received recognition for its contributions to the open‑source software community, offering a number of modules under the MIT license.

The company’s efforts are positioned within a broader European shift toward digitalization of civil society operations. By providing a standardized and compliant platform, Perustaaksi aims to reduce administrative burden and allow foundations and NGOs to focus more on their missions and community impact.
