**NICVA, the Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action, plans to launch a voluntary
and community sector portal which will include facilities to handle online donations
and event books.**

The new site, which will have the communityni.org address, is designed to function
as a ‘yellow pages’ and shop window for the sector, supported by secure e-commerce
technology”. It is scheduled to be launched in January 2005, although it will not
be launched publicly until March or April 2005.

NICVA will allow any not-for-profit organisation to publish information on the site
via facilities such as message boards and events listings, and by creating online
donation campaigns. NICVA will also create Web sites for organisations that do not
yet have one.

It will include existing NICVA resources such as Grant Tracker.

The site is being funded by economic development agency Invest NI.
