Get On Board
Board Matching Program

Local nonprofits must have been established within the last five years, demonstrate a need for new Board members in 2024 and beyond, and a commitment to board development through new community leadership. All board prospects must demonstrate a commitment to serving on a nonprofit board, and all that it entails.
