Preparedness is cooperation
Funding for security and preparedness
Increasing security measures not only prepare for risks and crises, but also make everyday life easier. Being prepared creates permanence and builds well-being and community.
Liiveri will grant funding for communities' preparedness investments in the fall of 2025. Investment can be the purchase of machinery and equipment, such as a generator, village radio, or heart attack detector, or construction, such as building a disabled ramp for a community center or a backup system for a water cooperative. How do you want to develop the safety of your community?
Safety can be developed through projects of different sizes
Security investments can range from €2,000 to €185,000. The support is 65 % of the project costs. Self-financing 35 % can be money and/or volunteer work for the project.
Consider interim funding for the project and your own financing while you prepare the project application.
The value of volunteering for the project is €20/hour per person and €60/hour per hour with a large machine. Volunteering can also ensure the implementation of the investment and expertise in the community.

Preparedness is cooperation
The village hall is being cared for for future generations
The village hall Seurala in Pojanluoma, located in Ilmajoki, has undergone several renovations over the years. The renovations are intended to ensure the village hall's survival for future generations. There is a good sense of community and a desire to do something in Pojanluoma, which encourages development work.
Improving village safety through a village project
Reijo Hämäläinen, the emergency preparedness manager for the city of Kurikka, sees that the security aspect has recently been emphasized in local development work, which is a theme he is familiar with through his work.
