The Norwegian Control Committee for Fundraising in Norway.

The english name for Stiftelsen Innsamlingskontrollen (IK) i Norge is: The Norwegian Control Committee for Fundraising in Norway.

IK was founded in September 1991 as a foundation with official approval. IKs main goal is to safeguard the public interest in order to ensure that organizations which carry out fundraising activities for humanitarian, cultural or religious causes etc. establish and follow satisfactory routines for the control and monitoring of all funds raised and how those funds are used. 

The Fundraising-Registry

The Fundraising Registry is based on a law which came into force July 1st 2009. The Ministry of Culture has assigned IK the task of developing and being the registrar for the Fundraising-Registry. At present time 94 organizations are registered, including almost all the major organizations. The number of applicants is growing, and we are for the time being processing several applications.
