A non-profit, member-led organisation

RFSL is a non-profit, member-led organisation. Our work is guided by decisions made democratically by our members. As a member, you are part of the movement and can help shape its development.

Our activities are funded through membership fees, donations, grants from public authorities and other institutions, and any profits generated by our wholly owned training company, RFSL Utbildning AB. These resources support and develop our work towards RFSL’s aims.

Some funding is restricted to specific projects and may only be used for purposes approved by the funder. We therefore also need funding that is not tied to a particular project.

Your donation can make more possible

Donations can contribute to unrestricted funds – money RFSL can use where it is needed within our aims. This allows us to respond to needs that earmarked grants do not cover.

Some project grants require RFSL to contribute a share of the funding. Unrestricted funds can enable us to meet this requirement and apply for and receive project grants. Your donation can therefore help unlock additional resources for human rights work.

This gives us greater scope to create spaces for people to meet, strengthen community organising, share knowledge and advocate for change – alongside people and organisations in Sweden and internationally.

Accountability and transparency

Being trusted to manage membership fees, donations and grants brings a responsibility to show how the money is used. We prepare annual reports, and our finances and administration are independently audited.

For project grants, we follow funders’ requirements on how funds may be used and how activities, results and expenditure must be reported. Depending on the funding, separate project reports and audits may also be required.

Whether you are looking for your next job, want to become a member or would like to donate, you are welcome to support our work for LGBTQI people’s human rights.
