Statute overview

About this statute

The law’s purpose is to allow fundraising for public-benefit activities and prevent dishonest conduct in connection with fundraising. This section says the law applies to organizing money collections, but not to several listed activities such as neighbor help, goods collections, certain public appeals, charity auctions and events, donation requests tied to invitations or obituaries, some religious collections, or crowdfunding covered by the crowdfunding law. This section defines “penninginsamling” as collecting money by appealing to the public without giving a counter-performance. It also limits what may be given in return to a fundraising symbol with no independent economic value. This section defines several terms used in the law, including public-benefit activity, the public, public appeals for donations, chain letters, and pyramid schemes. Penninginsamling kräver som huvudregel tillstånd från en myndighet, men flera uttryckliga undantag finns.
