Who We Are
The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology (MTC) in association with the Ministry of Social Development launched the official online donations portal on the 13th January 2009 to make it possible for donors to contribute to charitable organizations completely online.
Online Donations Portal has been developed with the vision to promote charity for valuable social causes in the Sultanate of Oman, by providing an electronic gateway to facilitate payment of donations to charitable organizations supported by the Ministry of Social Development such as, Oman Charitable Organization, Association of the welfare of the Handicapped, Al Noor Association for the Blind, Association of Early Intervention for Children with Special Needs, and others.
This portal supports humanitarian efforts for charity by eliminating the donor’s problems of time and distance using technology. This electronic channel connecting donors and beneficiaries process charitable payments completely electronically utilizing the ePayment gateway.

Mission
The Donation Portal for Charities works to cover a vast geographical area of Oman to deliver donations for local charities through harnessing modern technologies.
Vision
We work with a vision of implementing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to serve the society by facilitating and simplifying the donation processes for charities in Oman.
We believe in
The information Society is characterized by the profound impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) across the socio economic, political and culture areas of society. Limitless amount of information are disseminated through ICTs worldwide and those who have no access to these technologies are left at a disadvantage, being unable to participate and share fully in the benefits of the information society. Access to ICTs is seen as an essential factor for the development and the improvement of the well-being of society.
A vital component of the vision for Oman’s Economy - ‘Oman 2020’, is to the creation of a knowledge-based economy with a focus on developing Oman’s ICT sector with an aim to activate the economic diversification plan.
As a major step forward in the country's ambitious plans to introduce E-government and create a 'digital society' the national IT strategy was devised and MTC is the apex body vested with this responsibility to implement this strategy.
MTC was formed as a legal autonomous body affiliated to the Minister of National Economy for this purpose through the Royal Decree 52/2006. As set in the Royal Decree, the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology aims at consolidation and activation of government policies to transform the Sultanate into a knowledge–based economy for achievement of social and economical benefits to the Omani society by using this technology “within” the policies of economic diversification and sustained development.
With this ambitious vision we set forward with our mission, and take the opportunity to connect and communicate with you online through this website. We encourage your interactions with us on matters of mutual interest and together let us nourish the Sultanate in harnessing Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for overall progress of the nation.
