How It Works

Step by step process

1. The Voluntary Organisation needs to be enrolled and compliant with the Commissioner for Voluntary Organisations.
   
2. Register the Voluntary Organisation with the VO Funding Portal vofunding.org.mt/register
   
3. If you’re representing a verified Voluntary Organisation login using the VO Funding Portal credentials.
   
4. Create a project and fill in project application completing all details requested in relation to scope, time and funding amount of the project.
   
5. Each project application shall be vetted by the by MCVS Administration.
   
6. Once application is vetted and found to be eligible it would be put live on the SimplyGiving portal.
   
7. MCVS shall not disclose personal information of individual donors to the beneficiary Voluntary Organsation in respect of the Data Protection Act.
   
8. MCVS shall issue payment of funds received to each beneficiary Voluntary Organisation every two months. Donations are processed via Stripe, a third-party payment provider. Stripe applies a processing fee to each transaction, which is automatically deducted from the donated amount before the funds are received.
   
9. Beneficiary Voluntary Organisations are obliged to report this income under ‘fundraising’ to the Office of the Commissioner for Voluntary Organisations in their annual returns.
