Sponsorship
for the future
At Herrfors, we want to be more than just an energy company. We want to be an active part of what makes our region vibrant and strong. Through sponsorship, we support initiatives and activities that foster community, movement, and engagement in the areas where we operate.
We are especially passionate about sports and culture, the kinds of things that bring people together and enrich everyday life. Do you have an idea or project that contributes to an active local community?
You’re welcome to apply to our sponsorship program!
Why sponsorship?
Together we have the power
At Herrfors, we believe in the power of collaboration. By working with local associations, initiatives, and engaged individuals, we help build hope for the future and vitality in Ostrobothnia. True power comes from the community, both in the electricity grid and in society.
Vitality in the local community
As a Herrfors customer, you help support your local area. Our investments in culture, sports, and youth make a visible impact, right where you live. We want to contribute to a sustainable, vibrant, and welcoming Ostrobothnia.
Positive energy for the future
Our goal is to create opportunities for children and young people – today and tomorrow. Through sponsorship, we support enthusiasm, joy, and equality. For us, it’s about more than electricity: it’s about the energy of the future.
We sponsor
Sports
Herrfors actively supports youth sports in Ostrobothnia and Northern Ostrobothnia. By sponsoring local sports clubs, we promote health, community spirit, and belief in the future. We believe in the power of cooperation and want to help build strong and vibrant local communities.
Culture
Culture enriches our lives and strengthens community identity. Herrfors supports cultural initiatives that reflect our values: reliability, honesty, and being close to people’s everyday lives. By sponsoring cultural events and organizations, we contribute to a diverse and thriving cultural scene in our region.
Events
Local events create spaces for people to meet and build a sense of belonging. Herrfors sponsors events that promote wellbeing and community spirit in our service areas. We see these partnerships as opportunities to create positive experiences together with associations and local organizations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here you’ll find quick answers about our sponsorship: how to apply, what we support, and how we can create something great together!
Sponsorship is about collaboration where both parties contribute. We do not provide pure donations or gifts; instead, we base our sponsorship on a mutual agreement where we receive something in return, for example, visibility or collaboration in events.
It is important to us that the cooperation feels meaningful, provides value to both parties, and ultimately brings light to everyday life in the local community.
For us, sponsorship is a way to be present in local engagement – where real energy is found.
At Herrfors, people, electricity, and engagement are at the heart of everything we do.
We are close to our customers and the community, offering reliable service, sustainable solutions, and a desire to make a positive impact wherever we operate. We believe in collaboration, honesty, and local power.

We offer sponsorship to registered associations and individual events.
Unfortunately, we do not sponsor private individuals, schools, or municipal operations.
An exception is that we are happy to provide reflective vests to all preschools within our operating area – an initiative we are proud of as it contributes to children’s safety.
Pensioners’ organizations are also welcome to apply for sponsorship.
We review applications three times a year: in January (31.1), April (30.4), and September (30.9).
We process applications as soon as possible after the application deadline.
The same entity can be granted sponsorship at most once per year.
This allows us to support as many different initiatives and activities as possible within our area.
Herrfors receives a large number of sponsorship requests each year, and we review all of them carefully.
Unfortunately, we are not able to approve every request.
Our selection is based on our values, guidelines, and how well the proposed return on investment can be achieved.
We also consider the value the sponsorship will create for our brand, the region, and the community in which we operate.
We believe it is more important to support a variety of initiatives, which is why we prefer to distribute smaller amounts to many instead of large amounts to a few.
We receive a large number of applications each year, and unfortunately, the budget does not allow us to support everyone.
Sometimes we have to say no even to great and valuable initiatives. There may be many reasons for a rejection, such as priorities, criteria, or that the budget has already been allocated. We appreciate your commitment and encourage you to apply again in the future.
Herrfors does not sponsor activities that go against our values – such as those associated with negative environmental impact, alcohol, drugs, racism, or any form of discrimination.
We also do not sponsor explicitly religious or political organizations.
There is no fixed maximum amount, you can propose the amount that matches the needs of your project.
The clearer and more well-prepared the application is, the better the chances of receiving support.
We prioritize efforts that offer strong visibility and mutual benefit, in other words: the greater the impact your activity has, the more we may consider investing.
We only review applications submitted via our official application form and that follow our guidelines and stated timeline.
This is important to ensure a fair and equal assessment of all applications.
In this way, we can treat all associations consistently and respectfully.
