heureka’s funding is provided through subsidies from the city of vantaa and the ministry of education and culture, as well as through its own operational revenue: admission and rental fees, fundraising and exhibition export. heureka’s overall funding is approximately nine million euro, of which the revenue from own operations was 48% in 2011. the share of the funding provided by the city of vantaa and the ministry of education and culture was altogether 52% in 2011. the public support is notably less than for many other cultural institutions. part of the funding also comes through corporate co-operation. the temporary exhibitions are often sponsored by main partners and other partners. heureka also has two companies owned entirely by the foundation, namely the science shop magneetti oy, which runs the heureka shop at heureka and at the kamppi shopping centre in central helsinki, and heureka overseas productions oy ltd, which manages the export activities of heureka.
