NINOFF

How it works

One financial record. Two useful perspectives.

NINOFF is being designed to connect a donor’s private contribution view and a charity’s public whole-fund view to the same provenance ledger. That shared ledger is the product we intend to test in the first pilot; today’s demonstrator covers only the aggregate view.

Progressive transparency

Simple at first glance. Rigorous when inspected.

NINOFF begins with the answer most people need: what came in, what has been matched to expenditure and what remains. Anyone who wants more can follow categories into transactions, suppliers, sources and evidence.

Headline

Understand the fund position.

Category

See where matched value went.

Expenditure

Inspect who received money, how much, when and why.

Provenance

Understand the source, evidence and actual review status.

Disclosure boundary: employee identities, safeguarding detail, bank data and genuinely sensitive information may be redacted or aggregated. The associated value must still appear in the financial totals with an honest reason.

01

Received

A contribution is recorded with its fund, amount and source reference.

02

Eligible

The fund purpose controls which costs can be considered.

03

Allocated

A neutral, reproducible method assigns available value within those eligible records.

04

Explained

Allocated, held, refunded and adjusted value remains visible and balances.

Private donor view

What happened to this contribution?

A private reference would show the contribution’s current accounting state and its share of eligible costs. It would not claim that identifiable notes or coins paid one supplier.

Public fund view

How does the whole fund balance?

The public view shows received, matched and held totals, category summaries and publication-safe evidence. Donor identity remains private.

What the labels mean

Trust is only useful when its limits are visible.

NINOFF separates who supplied a record, which checks passed, what evidence exists and whether anyone independently reviewed it.

Recorded by charity

The organisation supplied or entered this information.

Imported from source

An identified external system supplied the record.

Reconciled by NINOFF

Defined balance, eligibility and conservation checks passed.

Independently reviewed

Only shown if a named review took place under stated criteria.

Plain-English boundaries

What “accounted for” means here.

It does mean

Every covered pound has a valid, explainable state and covered totals reconcile to identified source records.

It does not mean

NINOFF has audited the real-world activity, certified the charity, or guaranteed the truth of every source record.

Allocation means

An accounting assignment within eligible costs. It is not a claim that physical money followed a uniquely traceable path.
