Collection

If you want to collect money or items for a charity, apply for a collection permit from the municipality.

Collecting also includes:

  • member and donor recruitment and
  • lottery sales by charity lotteries

How does it work?

The congregation does not want too many collections to take place at the same time. In a collection schedule, it keeps track of when there are collections and sees if your collection fits into the schedule.

For large national campaigns, the municipality reviews your application against the advice of the Central Bureau on Fundraising. At the CBF you can view the national collection schedule. You can also view the municipality's schedule here. Check the collection schedule in advance and only then determine the date for the collection or collection.

What should I do?

You apply for the permit from the municipality. To do so, call 14 0181.

In your application, you must show that you will responsibly spend the money raised on the stated purpose. Further, please provide the following information:

  • The name of the organization organizing the collection
  • a description of the collection
  • The period in which you wish to hold the collection

It is wise if you submit your application at least 8 weeks in advance.
