Frifond organisasjon

Frifond organisasjon is a grant program that provides funding to local chapters of nationwide, voluntary, and democratic organizations in Norway. The funds are distributed through the central leadership of organizations, which then allocate them to their local chapters. The purpose of Frifond is to stimulate voluntary activity and participation of children and young people locally, both through voluntary organizations and independent groups and associations. The program aims to improve the framework conditions for voluntary organizations' and groups' member-based activities at the local level throughout the country. Local chapters have autonomy to decide how to use the Frifond support, as long as it aligns with the organization's guidelines. The funds are intended to support activities conducted by local chapters and cannot be used for salaries, fundraising activities, building equity, activities outside Norway, or illegal substances, alcohol, and tobacco.
