What We Do

An overview of the wide range of activities and services carried out by NICVA.

Governance and charity advice

NICVA runs a governance and charity advice service to advise on the set up and operation of a voluntary and community organisation.

Funding advice

Our funding advice service can help with guidance on project planning, helping to identify funding sources or making approaches to grant-makers.

Policy

NICVA's policy interests span the whole range of issues affecting the voluntary and community sector in Northern Ireland. Through training, facilitation, lobbying and direct representation, the policy unit enhances the profile of the sector.

Europe

NICVA houses a new European Library; a collection of information, resources and research tools on the European Union and surrounding policy.

Research

Our aim is to contribute to and develop knowledge about the voluntary and community sector for the benefit of researchers, policy makers and organisations interested in the sector.

Partnerships

Building partnerships with other organisations is an essential aspect of our work. We represent the voluntary and community sector on many committees, fora and working groups.
