The Foundation for Economic Education has a total of 16 operational regions in Finland, which generally correspond to the Chamber of Commerce regional districts.
Each year the members from particular regions, belonging to the Foundation for Economic Education´s supporters association, select regional committees from among themselves. There are altogether 16 regional committees. The voluntary work conducted by the regional committees is indispensable, in both acquiring new members and in founding new specialized funds. The committees also assess grant applications from their respective regions. The regions are mostly based on the regional division of the Finnish chambers of commerce. The association’s board has approved the regional committees’ rules of procedure in autumn 2001.
