samlingsansvarig

Samlingsansvarig is a role in Swedish organizations responsible for overseeing a collection or fundraising process. The term translates literally to the person who is responsible for the collection, and the role commonly appears in non-profit associations, clubs, student unions, religious communities, schools, and charitable initiatives. The samlingsansvarig coordinates the planning, execution, and follow-up of the collection, and acts as a point of contact for donors, volunteers, and the organization’s leadership.

The main duties typically include defining goals and timelines for the collection, recruiting and coordinating volunteers, assigning tasks, and establishing donation channels such as digital payments, bank transfers, or cash handling. The samlingsansvarig oversees the handling and safeguarding of collected funds or goods, ensures appropriate bookkeeping, prepares reports for the board, and manages budgeting and cost control. They are also often responsible for donor communication, issuing receipts, and maintaining transparency about how funds are used.

Legal and ethical considerations are an important part of the role. The samlingsansvarig should ensure compliance with applicable laws and guidelines related to fundraising and data protection, and coordinate with the organization’s leadership, treasurer, or auditors. In many contexts, responsible handling of donor information and transparent reporting are critical to maintain trust and legitimacy of the collection.

In practice, the role is common in sports clubs, charitable associations, cultural or student organizations, and local community initiatives, where the samlingsansvarig ensures that collections are conducted efficiently, ethically, and in accordance with organizational rules.
