Donating money to children's charities

Erikshjälpen works to combat poverty and vulnerability by realizing
children's rights, in Sweden and around the world. Many people think of us as a charity organization, and we really appreciate the desire to help. But we see our work as more than charity - we work with children's rights. This includes working with children, families and local organisations to create sustainable change.

This means that our work is rights-based and always based on children's rights, according to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Erikshjälpen focuses in particular on children's right to safety and protection, health, education and leisure. We believe in child participation and children's own ability to participate and change their situation.

Choose an organization you can trust. A 90 account is a good start - it means that the organization's finances are controlled by Swedish Fundraising Control.

Erikshjälpen has 90 accounts and is also approved for Safe Giving, a quality stamp from Giva Sverige. This means that we ask for gifts in a responsible way, have order in finances and governance, use the money as it is intended - and evaluate our work to see that it makes a difference.

The gift forms that do the most good for the children are those that take place every month via Autogiro. Autogiro gives Erikshjälpen stable income, which allows us to work sustainably with our interventions. It is also the most cost-effective way to give - as it requires the least administration, more of your gift goes directly to the work for children's rights.

You can choose to become Monthly Donor, Sponsor, Young Sponsor or Country Sponsor.

Erikshjälpen is approved for Tax reduction. This means that you as a donor can get back 25% of what you give in your tax return. Thanks to the tax reduction, you can give more children a brighter future - without it costing you more.

You can read more about Tax reduction on the Swedish Tax Agency's website or on our page about Tax reduction.

Yes, you can give a gift to children in Sweden. All children should have the same rights regardless of their life situation. With your gift, you help more children in Sweden to enjoy security, health, education and meaningful leisure time.

If you are a Monthly Donor - or give a one-time donation to the entire work of Erikshjälpen - the money goes where it is needed most, in Sweden and around the world.
