Types of membership

There are two types of memberships with Giva Sverige; the regular and the associated membership. The associated membership, in turn, has two separate subtypes of memberships. The main difference is that regular members have voting rights and are allowed to use the ”Safe giving” (Tryggt givande) label. All members are entitled to the same benefits.

Regular membership
Regular membership is available to all non-profit associations, foundations, and other non-profit organisations based in Sweden that raise money or other funds in an organised manner for their own or others’ activities, provided the organisation:

  • Collects funds from the public, companies, and/or other organisations in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and good practices.
  • Commits in writing to comply with Giva Sverige’s statutes and Quality Code.

Regular members have voting rights and can receive the ”Safe Giving” (Tryggt givande) label.

Associated membership
Entry-level membership
Entry-level membership is available to organisations that meet the criteria for regular membership but have an average annual operating income of up to 25 price base amounts (SEK 1,432,500 in 2024) over the past three financial years. Entry-level members must commit in writing to adhere to Giva Sverige’s statutes and the applicable sections of the Giva Sverige Quality Code.

Entry-level members are not eligible for voting and can not use the ”Safe giving” (Tryggt givande) label.
