Norwegian Foundation Register

Name: Norwegian Foundation Register
License: NLOD

Foundations registered under the Norwegian Foundations Act of 2001, sourced from the Brønnøysund Register Centre's Central Coordinating Register filtered on legal form STI. No API key required. Typical use cases: grant-maker research, compliance screening, CSR analysis and due diligence on the Norwegian philanthropic and non-profit sector. Licence: NLOD. Note that the Register Centre's dedicated Foundation Register API is permanently retired; lookups therefore run against the Central Coordinating Register, which records foundations as a legal form but not foundation-specific details. A foundation's purpose and endowment capital are consequently not available through this API.
