About FinnSource
FinnSource welcomes the Minneapolis, MN community to discover and celebrate Finnish heritage through an organization built on service, collaboration, and cultural preservation. Founded in 2017 to support Minnesota's commemoration of Finland's 100th Anniversary of Independence, FinnSource has evolved into a vital connecting organization that brings together existing and new Minnesota organizations, businesses, and individuals passionate about Finnish culture and community.
At its heart, FinnSource is driven by a vision to build both virtual and physical spaces where people of all generations can explore their connection to Finnish traditions, language, history, and contemporary life in Finland. The organization operates as a local chapter of Finlandia Foundation National, sustaining Finnish-American culture in the United States while honoring ancestral ties with Finland through grants, scholarships, and innovative programming. What sets FinnSource apart is its commitment to broadening the reach of Finnish-related groups, particularly among younger generations, by providing accessible pathways to cultural learning, genealogy exploration, and community engagement.
Volunteer-driven and donor-supported, FinnSource represents a grassroots movement to strengthen Minneapolis's Finnish community through collaborative efforts and inclusive programming. Whether you're seeking to learn Suomen kieli, explore your Finnish ancestry, participate in cultural celebrations, or simply connect with others who share a passion for Finland, FinnSource serves as your welcoming gateway to the vibrant Finnish-American experience in Minnesota.
