The process of NICVA membership.

making the process simple

Once you've decided that membership of, or subscription to NICVA is right for you, we want to make the process as straightforward as possible.

In general, a membership application will take up to six weeks to fully process. We aim to keep you fully informed throughout the process, and you can contact Member Services at any time.

If you are applying for Full membership of NICVA we will require the following documentation;

1. A copy of your group’s constitution or governing document (i.e. Articles of Association).
2. Your latest annual report (if unavailable, a copy of your group’s latest minutes).
3. Your latest set of audited accounts (if unavailable, a copy of your latest bank statement).

We will be unable to process your application without this information

These should be supplied alongside the Membership Application Forms available here, or available on request from:

Frances McAtamney,
Member Services,

028 9087 7777

You should fill the application form in, and return the form and supporting documents and the appropriate payment to:

NICVA Member Services
FREEPOST BEL88
Belfast
BT15 1BR.

Once you've done that, it will be reviewed by Member Services, who may contact you to follow up on your application.

Once that's complete, your application is forwarded to a meeting of the Executive Committee of NICVA, who will make a determination on your membership, and you will be contacted.

If at any stage in the process you're confused or would like support, contact Member Services, who will be pleased to help you with your enquiries.

NICVA Executive Committee's determination in matters of membership is final, and NICVA reserves the right to determine the eligibility of an organisation or prospective subscriber for membership.
