Innsamlingskontrollen | Oslo is the Norwegian Control Committee for Fundraising, which ensures the quality of fundraising activities in Norway. As there is no legislation in Norway that directly regulates fundraising, the Control Committee plays a crucial role in maintaining transparency and trust. They operate the Approval Registry, a voluntary registration scheme for organizations that raise funds for charitable causes.

To be approved, organizations must follow specific accounting rules and undergo external control. A minimum of 65% of funds (excluding public funding) must go towards the organization's stated cause. The Control Committee has also established the Warning List (OBS-listen), which identifies nonprofit organizations that have failed to comply with regulations and reporting requirements.

These organizations allocate less than 50% of their income to their stated cause and have not provided essential information to the Control Committee. The Warning List serves to maintain public confidence by promoting transparency among nonprofits. Overall, Innsamlingskontrollen | Oslo is dedicated to ensuring the integrity and effectiveness of fundraising efforts in Norway.

They uphold high standards and encourage ethical practices within the sector. Contact them for more information or visit their website
