Rahankeräyskampanja is a Finnish term that translates to "fundraising campaign". It refers to an organized effort to collect money for a specific cause, organization, or project. These campaigns are common in Finland and can be undertaken by various entities, including non-profit organizations, charities, educational institutions, and even individuals for personal needs.

The purpose of a rahankeräyskampanja can be diverse. It might aim to support medical research, provide disaster relief, fund a cultural event, improve community facilities, or help individuals facing financial hardship. Campaigns are typically characterized by a defined goal, a target audience, and a set duration, though some may be ongoing.

Methods used in rahankeräyskampanjat vary widely. They can include direct mail appeals, online donation platforms, crowdfunding, special events like charity concerts or runs, telemarketing, and partnerships with businesses. Transparency is often emphasized, with campaign organizers expected to clearly communicate how the collected funds will be used and to provide reports on their impact.

In Finland, there are regulations and ethical guidelines that govern fundraising activities to ensure fairness and prevent fraud. Organizations engaging in regular public fundraising often require permits or registration. The success of a rahankeräyskampanja depends on effective communication, compelling storytelling, and the generosity of the public.
