Problem
Donors struggle to discover new charitable organizations and lack a consolidated overview of their giving history, while many feel pressured by traditional fundraising calls and have little control over how their data is handled. Non-profits face high costs and administrative burdens in acquiring donors, and an estimated 300 million SEK is lost annually in Sweden to unnecessary transaction fees that could otherwise go to charitable causes.
Solution
Samfora provides a free digital platform that gives donors a single account for managing all their charitable giving, including a complete history of donations and automatic tax deductions. The platform connects donors with vetted organizations across categories such as disaster relief, international aid, human rights, and environmental causes. Donations are made via Swish and go directly from the donor to the organization's bank account, with Samfora charging no platform fee and keeping transaction costs to a minimum. Donors retain full control over their personal data under GDPR, choosing what information, if any, to share with recipient organizations. For non-profits, Samfora offers visibility regardless of organization size, with verified annual reports and transparent vetting requirements.
Target Audience
Primary users are Swedish individual donors seeking a secure and cost-effective way to manage charitable giving, as well as Swedish non-profit organizations of all sizes looking to reduce fundraising costs and access donor data insights.
