Fundis founder Juha Markkanen spoke on Haaga-Helia’s podcast about how Fundis offers a new, modern solution that enables clubs to fundraise regularly without extra effort.
Fundraising for sports clubs has traditionally relied on volunteer work, product sales, and various campaigns. For many parents, bake sales, buffets, and sock campaigns are familiar, but they can also be labor-intensive and time-consuming.

Fundraising challenges and a new way to support clubs
Fundraising is an important part of sports club operations, as seasonal fees and participation fees rarely cover all costs. Especially in competitive sports and international trips, costs can rise significantly, putting pressure on families and clubs.
– “Traditional fundraising (and doing it) ties up quite a few people. The purpose of our new fundraising method is to give people who are involved in these sports activities the opportunity to focus on their own mission,” Markkanen says.
Fundis is a payment app that allows users to support their chosen club or community through everyday purchases – at no extra cost.
How does Fundis work?
Fundis’ operating principle is simple:
- Users download the Fundis app and select a sports club or association to support.
- By paying with the app at participating stores or restaurants, part of the payment goes directly to the selected recipient.
- Clubs and associations receive support without having to sell products or organize volunteer events.
Fundis works in partnership with businesses from various industries. It already includes restaurants, specialty stores, and service providers, and the network is constantly growing. One of the largest partners to join is Pizza Hut. You have the opportunity to support your favorite cause with every Fundis payment.
The future of fundraising is here
Fundis offers clubs a new way to raise funds without the burden of traditional campaigns. At the same time, it gives consumers the opportunity to support causes that matter to them as part of their everyday life.
– “We are all doing good together, and it makes a difference,” Markkanen sums up.
