About us

Financial stability through sharing and learning

Behind this webinar is a consortium of five members from Caritas Finland, Caritas Estonia, Caritas Luxembourg, Caritas Portugal, SCIAF – Caritas Scotland. Our consortium is funded by Caritas Europa’s Advancing Caritas Through Solidarity -tool. Our project covers years 2024-2025 and we are developing fundraising. Our project is called ‘Financial stability through sharing and learning’.

The contact person for the project is Laura Koskelainen from Caritas Finland laura.koskelainen@caritas.fi

​

Whereas some of the consortium members will get to share and learn their knowledge whilst developing their operations further, the other consortium members will get to learn and develop fundraising strategies with the support of their more experienced colleagues.
