The Federation of Finland-Israel Associations with its 12 chapters around Finland is the largest traditional Israel-friendship association in Finland.
The Federation is politically non-partisan and non-religious.
Sources of funding: membership fees, in addition occasionally donations for projects
Since its inception in 1954, the Federation has dedicated to promoting Israel and her society including culture, education, tourism, science & technology, business, religion etc.
The federation publishes a quarterly magazine ”Jedidut” (friendship). Ex: https://suomi-israel.fi/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/jedidut-2020-03.pdf
K.-A. Fagerholm Award: In 2018 the Federation founded the K.-A. Fagerholm Award, according to the founder and first chairman (1954-1976) of the Finland-Israel Association, Karl-August Fagerholm. Mr. Fagerholm was one of the leading social-democratic politicians in 1930-1966, and served three times as Finland’s prime minister and as the Speaker of the Parliament for 16 years.
Our 12 chapters are organizing local events, lectures etc.
We have regular contacts to organisations and individuals in Israel so our network can be useful also for ALF
We are interested about support for our own projects and events.
