芬兰“母亲树基金会”由芬兰的十五家致力于解决环境及发展问题的非政府组织或基金会发起成立，为全球发展中国家的环保或人权领域的社会组织、社区团体和研究机构提供帮助。母亲树基金会对于发展中阵营的人们所提供的帮助，首先在于使得全世界能关注他们的言论和心声，同时，支持他们在推动公民赢得区域性乃至全球性政治和决策力量方面的工作；其次，帮助维护生物和文化的多样性；并且帮助保护环境、促进生态可持续性发展的生产和消费体系。
母亲树基金会主要是对发展中国家的或在发展中国家开展项目的社会组织、非政府组织、社区团体和研究机构提供直接帮助。这些组织可以是经过注册的实体，也可以是未经注册但明确界定为基于社区的各类组织。
基金会所赞助的活动内容非常广泛，为各类区域性或全球性的项目、研究、出版、培训、以及推动环保和人权的工作提供资金，并且为争取组织和政治上独立强大的社区提供支持。
The Siemenpuu Foundation was founded by 15 Finnish
NGOs or Foundations working with environment and
development questions. It offers support for civil
society organisations, community groups and research
institutes in developing countries working for
environment and the promotion of human rights.
First and foremost, the Siemenpuu Foundation wants
to support people in the South to get their voices
heard and at the same time to support their work
in advancing citizen political and other decision-making
powers locally and globally; in protecting biological
and cultural diversity; in securing the safety
of their environment and in furthering ecologically
sustainable production and consumption.
Primarily, the Siemenpuu Foundation gives support
directly to civil society organisations and networks
of organisations, NGOs, community groups and research
institutes operating and based in developing countries
. The organisations can be registered entities
or unregistered, clearly defined community based
groups.
The nature of the activities supported can be
diverse. We give funding for projects, research,
publications, training, environmental and human
rights advocacy work both locally and globally,
support for communities in getting organised and
politically empowered etc.
