An algorithm will sort through an individual’s reported interests and skills and match those with nonprofits looking for similar board candidates.  The system will generate a list of nonprofit board openings that are ranked to align from high to low with an individual’s identified skills and interests.  A search function will allow an individual to learn more about each nonprofit and the contact person at the nonprofit.

BoardBuild does not verify the background information provided by prospective board candidates.  Parties are advised to conduct their own due diligence.

You bet!  We want to partner with you to create a strong board.  Just let us know what you need.
