NICVA, the Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action, is enabling its member
charities to accept online donations via its communityni.org website. NICVA’s online
donations tool includes the facility for NICVA to collect Gift Aid on qualifying
donations on behalf of the recipient charity.

NICVA charges an administration fee for handling online donations of 6% of the 
gross donation. There is no set up fee for the service and there is also no monthly
fee. This 6% admin fee includes the credit card transaction fees and all other fees
associated with online payments service WorldPay, which NICVA uses to process the
donations.

To use the service NICVA members must be registered with the Charity Commission 
for England and Wales, Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator or be recognised
as a charity for tax purposes by the Inland Revenue.

NICVA says that it will send charities using the service a monthly report detailing
donations and donors (unless they ask for anonymity) together with information regarding
Gift Aided donations.

NICVA also offers advise on publicising the online donations tool to a charity’s
supporters.

Nine organisations are currently listed on communityni.org as accepting online donations
via this service, including Belfast Central Mission, Disability Action NI, and Windsor
Women’s Centre.
