​Payments

 

Applicants will be informed of grant decisions by email. If awarded a grant, the recipient must submit a payment plan and sign a grant agreement through the electronic grant system.
 

The payment plan must be submitted within two months of receiving a positive funding decision. The project’s designated contact person is responsible for submitting the plan. Please note that July is the holiday period for Adventurous Ideas Oy, during which new payment plans are not processed. However, payments related to already approved plans may still be processed in July. If changes to an approved payment plan are needed, please contact the giving back team through the grant system.

Reporting​

​

All projects that receive funding are required to report on their activities. Reports must be submitted through the electronic grant system. A final report is mandatory for all projects and must be submitted within three months of the project's completion. An interim report is required if the project duration exceeds 18 months. The interim report must be submitted 12 months after the project start date, and no later than one month after the reporting due date.

​

The interim report should review the project’s progress, results achieved so far, and how the project supports the focus areas of the Adventurous Ideas project grant program. The final report must describe the entire implementation, actions taken, results achieved, and impact. It should evaluate how well the project met its original objectives and what impact it had from the perspective of animal rights and/or nature conservation. The report must also list any other funders and detail the actual costs covered by the grant from Adventurous Ideas Oy.

​

If relevant, the report may include attachments such as statistics, images, or other material essential to the project.

 

​

Accounting​

​

Grant recipients are required to maintain their accounting in compliance with the Finnish Accounting Act and Decree.

The accounting must be organized in a way that allows the use of the grant from Adventurous Ideas Oy to be easily and reliably tracked. We recommend using a separate cost center for the project.

​

The following elements must be clearly presented in the accounts:

• Total project costs

• Any self-financing contributions

• The awarded grant

• Project revenues and expenditures

• Any other sources of funding

​

All income and expenses related to the use of the grant must be recorded within the time frame for which the grant was awarded.

​

Changes

​

If there are any significant changes to the project that affect the original plan or budget presented in the application, the giving back team must be informed without delay via the grant system. Examples of such changes include a change of contact person, substantial content changes, or alterations to the project timeline.

​
 

Communication Guidelines​

​

We encourage grant recipients to acknowledge Investment and Impact Company Adventurous Ideas in their communications whenever appropriate and relevant. The Finnish reference to be used is Sijoitus- ja vaikuttavuusyhtiö Adventurous Ideas Oy. 

​

The project’s communication materials may also include the Adventurous Ideas Oy logo.

​

Logo usage guidelines:

• Clear space around the logo should be at least half the height of the logo.
