Pikku Jääkärit –
Fundraising foundation
The Pikku Jääkärit fund support is directed to families with economic difficulties whose children play football in HPS (Helsingin Palloseura). Pikku Jääkärit is the members' own communal fund system. Volunteer parents raise funds for the foundation by doing voluntary work. Decisions about fund allocation are made by the Pikku Jääkärit member group. It is important for HPS to make football available for all children living in the Pakila-Paloheinä-Torpparinmäki area. No child should have to quit football because of their family's economic difficulties.
WHO CAN GET FINANCIAL SUPPORT VIA PIKKU JÄÄKÄRIT?
To apply for the support the family must have at least one child who plays football in one of the HPS teams, and the child must be a club member. An adult player (18 yrs or older) will fill in the application by themselves.
WHAT KIND OF EXPENCES ARE COVERED?
The fund covers eg. monthly fees, training kits, the membership fee and/or training camp / tournament costs.
WHEN TO APPLY?
Applications are handled twice a year: in late spring and at the end of the year. The application form will be visible only during the application time: https://www.hps.fi/seura/pikku-jaakarit/pikku-jaakarit-tuen-hakeminen/
WHO MAKES THE DECISIONS ABOUT FUND ALLOCATION?
The decisions of the fund allocation are made by the independent Pikku Jääkärit member group that consists of volunteer parents and the club's head of training. The member group has set guidelines for allocation principles. Each applicant family will receive an email with the decision in two weeks time.
The member group will compile a summary of the handling process (number of applications, funds used) for the club's board.
AMOUNT OF SUPPORT
The amount of support will be decided on a case by case basis. The aim is to support as many players as possible, but it all depends on the total amount of funds and the number of applications.
HOW IS THE SUPPORT DELIVERED?
The player's team will receive the funds directly.
PRIVACY
The information of the applications is private. Members of the group have signed non-disclosure agreements.
