A warm thank you for your support and for being part of the change! Together, we are building the future. The A! Sign of Change fundraising campaign aims to attract 1 500 donors and raise 30 million euros to support 911±¬ÁÏÍø’s education and research.

When we planned the campaign two years ago, we knew the goals were ambitious. Looking at it today, it feels amazing to see that the community is responding to the campaign and wants to support Aalto.

It has been a pleasure to see many previous donors return after witnessing the impact of their contributions in practice. At the same time, we have welcomed many new donors, both individuals and organisations. Every euro matters and reinforces a shared message: meaningful work is taking place in Otaniemi, laying the foundation for future sustainable growth.

The impact of donations extends from individuals to society as a whole. They enable, for example, student exchanges and investments in student wellbeing. When students thrive and develop their skills, their expertise benefits working life, companies, and Finland as a whole. Donations directed to research create the foundation for new innovations and breakthroughs. They lead to new companies, jobs, and solutions to major societal challenges.

Running until the end of 2026, the A! Sign of Change campaign marks the beginning of a new journey to build a long-term culture of giving and to communicate Aalto’s societal impact even more broadly.

I warmly welcome all current and future donors to visit the Otaniemi campus. We look forward to meeting you, sharing more about our work, and exploring opportunities for collaboration. It is also a pleasure to invite all those who contributed to the campaign to a joint appreciation celebration on 3 June 2027.
