Questions & answers
Good to know before you give.
Answers to common questions about monthly donations, Vipps and your information.
What is the Cup of Coffee campaign?
It is an OIRC fundraising initiative that invites people to contribute a modest amount each month to help support educational opportunities for underprivileged students in Bangladesh.
Can I make a one-time or recurring donation?
Open the official Vipps donation page from this website. In Vipps, choose either a one-time donation or a recurring donation. If you choose recurring, select the amount and review the payment arrangement shown there before confirming. The donation type and amount are selected in Vipps, not on this website.
How do I cancel a monthly donation through Vipps?
Open the Vipps app and find your agreement or recurring payments. Select the donation agreement for Oslo International Rotary Club and follow the option to end or cancel it. Menu wording can vary by app version. If you cannot find the agreement, contact OIRC for help. Check the agreement status in Vipps to make sure it has been cancelled. Do not share your Vipps login details with anyone.
Can I change my monthly amount?
Check the options available for your donation agreement in Vipps. If the amount cannot be changed there, cancel the existing agreement and create a new one for the amount you prefer.
Will I receive a receipt or confirmation?
Vipps displays the payment confirmation, and OIRC should provide the relevant donation records and any receipt arrangements applicable to the campaign. Please keep the Vipps confirmation for your records.
What information does OIRC collect?
If you submit the contact form, your name, email address and any optional message are sent to OIRC through Formspree. Vipps payment information is handled separately by Vipps. OIRC should explain in its privacy information how submitted details are used, who can access them and how long they are kept.
Does registering my email confirm that I donated?
No. The contact form is separate from Vipps and cannot verify a payment. If you want to register your contact details, submit the form on this page. Your donation must still be made separately through the official Vipps page.
Where does the money go?
The campaign is intended to support OIRC’s Bangladesh scholarship project. OIRC should publish verified information about fund handling and project reporting so donors can understand how contributions are used.
Trust matters
Good intentions deserve transparency.
What routines do you have in place to ensure that the funds go directly to the intended purpose and not to a third party?
Oslo International Rotary Club (OIRC) has procedures in place to ensure that collected funds are used for the stated purpose: supporting education for students in Bangladesh.
We safeguard this through the following control procedures:
- Controlled financial management: All donations are received through OIRC’s official Vipps solution and recorded in the club’s accounts. The club treasurer is responsible for financial follow-up.
- Traceable transfers: Any transfers to the Bangladesh project are made from the club’s account to identified recipients or project accounts. Transfers are documented so that the flow of funds can be traced.
- Recipient verification: Before funds are transferred, the recipient and the purpose of the payment are checked by the person responsible for OIRC’s Bangladesh project.
- Documentation of use: Payments and the use of funds are documented through relevant supporting documents, receipts or financial reports from the project.
- Follow-up and reporting: The club treasurer follows up incoming and outgoing payments, while the project lead in Bangladesh reports on how the funds have been used. The club’s leadership may review this documentation.
OIRC’s principle is that collected funds must be used for the purpose communicated to donors. Funds must not be used for private purposes or transferred to unrelated third parties. Any payments to local suppliers or partners must be directly related to the education project and supported by documentation.
