This grant program supports organizations working in the child welfare sector in Norway. The goal is to develop the child welfare field by stimulating user and interest organizations to strengthen their engagement and shared responsibility for vulnerable children, young people and their families. Organizations must be registered in the Norwegian Volunteer Registry and demonstrate that the program's objectives align with their core activities. The grant supports general operations of organizations that promote user participation in child welfare at individual, group and system levels. Organizations must have operated for at least two years and have a nationwide reach. The program aims to support organizations that complement other actors' efforts, have systematic influence at the system level, are representative of the target group, work for their own target group's interests, and facilitate their target group's ability to influence and participate in the organization.
