Fundraising and Charity Regulation in Kazakhstan: International Practices and Key Recommendations
Published December 2025
ICNL prepared this overview at the request of Kazakhstani civil society experts working on new legislation related to fundraising and charitable activities. The paper compares key provisions of the draft law with international practices and offers recommendations for improvement. ICNL highlights the importance of strengthening existing transparency tools, promoting sector-led self-regulation and public awareness, and avoiding new administrative burdens that could restrict legitimate fundraising by CSOs and individuals.
Настоящий обзор подготовлен по запросу Казахстанских экспертов-представителей гражданского общества, которые просили прокомментировать предлагаемые изменения в Закон Республики Казахстан (РК) о благотворительности (Закон) (изменения в Закон) с точки зрения международного опыта.
В данном обзоре мы проводим сравнительный анализ отдельных положений изменений в Закон с международной практикой и предлагаем рекомендации по их совершенствованию. ICNL рекомендует укреплять существующие механизмы прозрачности, поощрять саморегулирование сектора и информирование общественности, а также избегать новых требований, которые могут ограничить законный сбор средств со стороны некоммерческих и благотворительных организаций и отдельных лиц.
