Governance & Compliance

Giva Sverige is dedicated to strengthening and improving governance and compliance within fundraising organisations. Through our Quality Code, we provide essential tools and guidelines to ensure that donation requests and handling are ethical, internal controls and compliance routines are robust, and proper reporting is conducted.

It is crucial that transparent information about donations and organisational activities is available to maintain public trust and donor confidence. To meet this need, our members must adhere to the ’Giva Sverige Quality Code’. The Code supports members in maintaining high standards of internal control and governance quality, while our ethical fundraising guidelines ensure responsible conduct in fundraising activities.

Members are required to:

  • Follow the Giva Sverige Quality Code and ethical fundraising guidelines.
  • Submit documentation verifying compliance with the Code, including an auditor’s assessment every two years.
  • Provide detailed financial and impact reports annually.

Giva Sverige also collaborates internationally with other national fundraising associations to promote international ethical principles for fundraising.
