Before fundraising

When is the fundraiser taking place?

The door-to-door campaign itself will take place on Sunday, 15 March. You’re free to collect donations at any time during the day, but we encourage everyone who has signed up for door-to-door fundraising to go out in the afternoon (4–7 pm). From experience, this is when most people are at home.

As a fundraiser, you can also raise money through the digital fundraiser linked to your personal QR code — before, during and after Sunday, 15 March. We hope as many people as possible will share their QR code on social media, so the campaign reaches as wide an audience as possible.

How do I sign up as a fundraiser?

You sign up as a fundraiser at this link. Here you choose the route you want and follow the steps described to reserve the desired route.

How do I choose a route?

When you click on this link, you will see a map. Enter the street address or a starting point near where you want to start your route and click on one of the results that appear. You can now see more information about the suggested route you have clicked on. Reserve it or perform a new search to find another route.

Why are some units on the route I'm searching for green, and others orange or red?

If the households are marked in green, the routes are available. Red households mean the routes have already been reserved. The orange households show the route suggested to you based on the address or starting point you selected in the map. You can’t click individual houses to choose them — routes are generated automatically.

Can I choose multiple routes?

No, unfortunately it’s not possible to select more than one route at the moment. However, you can choose whether you’d like a shorter or a longer route.

How do I collect?

The fundraising campaign is completely cashless. This means that when you’re out collecting, you can only receive donations via your personal QR code, Vipps, SMS or bank transfer. You won’t need to pick up or return a collection box — the only thing you need to bring with you is the fundraising material you’ve been sent. All donation options are listed on the back of your fundraiser poster.

How long do I have to walk?

The time you spend going door to door depends on the route you choose. You’ll see an estimated duration for your route before you click to reserve it. Please make sure you complete the entire route, as many people are waiting for a fundraiser to knock on their door. You can choose a slightly longer or shorter route, depending on what suits you best.

Can we walk together on the same route?

If you’re going out in a group of two or more, we encourage you to reserve one route per person taking part, and to walk all the routes together. This way, we can raise even more money for life-saving cancer research.

Can I get more fundraiser posters?

Yes, you can. When you enter the details for where your fundraising materials should be sent, you can also choose how many fundraiser posters you need. You can add one or two extra posters if someone else in your household would also like materials. The number you select is the total number of posters you’ll receive.

Do I have to go at a specific time?

No, but we encourage everyone going door to door to collect in the afternoon between 4 and 7 pm, as experience shows that more people are at home during this time.

Do I carry a physical collection box?

No, you don’t carry a physical collection box when fundraising for the Norwegian Cancer Society’s fundraising campaign. The campaign is completely cashless, which means you can only accept donations via your personal QR code, Vipps, SMS or bank transfer.

Can I accept cash?

No, you can’t accept cash when collecting donations for the campaign. This makes it safer to donate and safer for you as a fundraiser, as you don’t have to carry large amounts of cash. The Norwegian Cancer Society’s fundraising campaign is completely cashless. This means you can only accept donations via your personal QR code, Vipps, SMS or bank transfer. All donation options are also clearly listed on the fundraising materials you’ve received.

I want to be part of a group fundraiser. How do I do that?

Schools, companies, sports teams and other organisations can create a group to combine the results from all fundraisers linked to that group. Once you’ve chosen a route and move on to reserving it, you’ll be asked to fill in some basic information about yourself. At that point, you can also choose to join a group. Simply search for the group, and you’ll be added to it automatically.

How will I receive the fundraising materials?

The fundraising materials will be sent to the address you provide when signing up, well in advance of the campaign day. If you sign up as a fundraiser shortly before Sunday, 15 March, you’ll receive the materials by email and will need to print them yourself before the campaign day.

Can I also fundraise digitally?

Yes, absolutely. When you sign up as a fundraiser, you’ll receive your own QR code and a unique URL linking to your digital fundraiser. You can share it with friends and family, colleagues or others before, during and after the campaign day via social media, text message or email. Your total amount raised will be displayed there.

I’ve signed up as a fundraiser, but I can’t take part after all. What should I do?

If you’re no longer able to go out as a fundraiser, you can log in to the sign-up page and delete your route under “My routes”. This will make the route available again for others to choose. You’ll also receive more information about this by email after you’ve signed up as a fundraiser.

I haven’t received my fundraising materials. What should I do?

If you haven’t received your fundraising materials by Friday, 6 March, please send an email to innsamler@kreftforeningen.no and we’ll help you track your delivery.

Can children take part in fundraising?

Yes, in principle. There’s no age limit for the Norwegian Cancer Society’s fundraising campaign, but if you’re under 15, we encourage you to go together with an adult.

What is the Norwegian Cancer Society’s fundraising campaign?

The Norwegian Cancer Society’s fundraising campaign is the organisation’s annual nationwide effort in support of the cancer cause in Norway. Since 2006, the campaign has raised close to NOK 550 million for life-saving cancer research.

To reach the campaign’s fundraising goal, we rely entirely on the support of our many dedicated supporters. Anyone can sign up as a fundraiser and go door to door on Sunday.

What are the funds used for?

The funds raised through this year’s fundraising campaign go towards research to ensure that all cancer patients who may benefit from it are offered genetic testing earlier in their treatment journey and receive the best possible treatment based on the results. You can read more about this here.
