Every year, the organization gives prizes on "Årets folkbildare" (educator of the year) and "Årets förvillare" (deceiver of the year).

VoF is Sweden's leading sceptic's organization and has interacted with equivalent international organizations, such as the American Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal.
