Increase in Charitable Fundraising in Bahrain

The Ministry of Social Development in Bahrain has reported a significant increase in the number of licenses granted to charitable associations, centres, foundations, and private non-governmental organisations for fundraising within the country. In the first four months of 2024, approximately 85 new permits were issued. The ministry also issued 24 licenses for receiving funds from abroad and 75 licenses for sending funds overseas during the same period. This increase in licenses for fundraising purposes shows a 70% rise in just two years, compared to the total of 178 licenses granted in 2022.

Charitable organisations in Bahrain can collect funds through various methods outlined in the Law Regulating Fundraising for Public Purposes, such as charity markets, events, donation boxes, sporting events, online donations, email, and text messages. In order to obtain a fundraising license, organisations must submit an application to the Ministry of Social Development, which reviews the application to ensure it aligns with the objectives of the organisation as stated in its constitution. The Ministry also verifies the organisation’s legal status and the legitimacy of its board of directors.

The Ministry of Social Development must make a decision on the license application within 30 days of its submission, as per Article 5 of Decree-Law 21 of 2013. Before making a decision, the ministry consults with relevant government agencies to ensure the funds are being collected for a legitimate purpose. If an organisation fails to respond within the specified timeframe, it is considered an implicit rejection of the application. The ministry’s published statistics show that it provided 328 consultations in the first quarter of 2024, including legal, financial, and technical consultations.

In addition to issuing fundraising licenses, the Ministry of Social Development in Bahrain also provided training courses to non-governmental organisations. Over a four-month period, 10 training courses were conducted, benefiting 221 organisations and 378 participating members. The ministry also carried out visits and follow-ups to non-governmental organisations, along with institutional evaluations. These efforts aim to support and enhance the work of charitable organisations and ensure transparency and accountability in fundraising activities.

The increase in fundraising licenses granted by the Ministry of Social Development indicates a growing trend of charitable activities and support for non-governmental organisations in Bahrain. The ministry’s careful review process for license applications ensures that funds are being raised for legitimate purposes and that organisations are operating within the boundaries of the law. Through consultations, training courses, and evaluations, the ministry is providing valuable support to non-governmental organisations and promoting a culture of transparency and accountability in fundraising activities.
