FIThe Finnish government has decided to significantly reduce funding for social and health organizations, with grants expected to drop by a third next year. The new criteria set by Minister Wille Rydman exclude central and umbrella organizations, those focused solely on advocacy or advisory work, and the wealthiest groups. Funding will only be provided for direct service delivery or if the organization plays an essential role in local-level care.
