BoardMatch readies you for first-time board service and matches you to a local nonprofit serving a cause you care about.

Is BoardMatch For Me?

• Yes, if you never served on a board of directors for a nonprofit organization or have little board experience.
• Yes, if you are not currently serving on a board OR have not been recruited onto one.
• Yes, if you want help finding a nonprofit for possible board service.
• Yes, if you want to build your professional résumé and network with other committed individuals.

Does it Work?

Since 2004, we have placed over 100 individuals into first-time board service.

During our two-evening program you get:

• An overview of the nonprofit sector and how it works.
• An understanding of the board’s fiduciary responsibilities and governance role.
• The opportunity to be in a simulated board meeting with a real-life decision for you to make.
• Time to meet with 3-4 potential nonprofit matches during our high-energy Nonprofit Speed Dating.
