About Us
We bring a personal touch, a passion for purpose, and a dedication to professionalism to everything we do.
To inspire the world’s professionals to serve their cause.
We envision a world where every business and community leader finds purpose by lending their skills and passions to high-impact, value-aligned nonprofits working to create a more just, vibrant, and equitable world.
Our Story
We were founded in 2015 to inspire the next generation of professionals to serve their cause while setting a new standard of excellence in nonprofit leadership. We provide an onramp for talented professionals who want to connect to community leadership opportunities at the center of their passions.
Expanding Our Impact
We’re growing our reach to help thousands more nonprofits connect with talented professionals who will help them move their mission forward.
Our Values
People come first. We invest heavily in everyone who partners with us.
We find purpose in our work and are passionate about the causes we support.
We always act with integrity. We believe in the power of authenticity.
Our commitment to diverse, inclusive, and equitable leadership shapes every aspect of our work.
We look for opportunities to design, innovate, and take risks.
We never take shortcuts. We infuse quality into every action, every day.
Committed to Equity
We believe diversity, equity, and inclusion are inseparable from effective service, governance and leadership. Inclusive practices ensure that we go beyond platitudes and tokenism by giving voice, influence, and power to all who wish to productively engage in service of our mission.
Out of a shared commitment to practice what we preach, we invest our time, talent, and treasure in learning about and from our communities, challenging our assumptions, and inviting new insights as we champion authentic leadership.
We feel like the BoardLead process was a smashing success! We were introduced to a great match for us, who brings specialized knowledge, energy, and curiosity about our work and our program. The process also introduced us to a company with which we'd previously had no connection. We are grateful to BoardLead for this great matchmaking!
I was SO impressed by my BoardLead experience—the team offered so much support and guidance as I approached my first ever Board position, which is something I had been dreaming about for awhile. The process was both rigorous and accessible—a perfect balance. The training and guidance provided is also extremely valuable for a first-time Board member. This placement was really life & career changing for me, and I couldn't be more grateful!
...all three (of our BoardLeaders) are tremendous! Lauren Christian is now our Vice Chair and will become Board Chair in January 2022. Nicole Turner has just accepted the role of Development Committee Chair. Earlier this year she co-chaired our biggest annual fundraiser which was the most successful event we have ever had (and the first in-person event since the pandemic). Lauren Young is the Chair of our Program Committee and is applying her much-needed skill set to that group. BoardLead has made a substantial impact on our Board's effectiveness and we are all grateful.
We have been so grateful for both of our BoardLead board members, Jason and Yasir.
Jason has jumped right in with co-leading our Growth Committee and models engagement for other board members. His energy and enthusiasm are fantastic, and I'm excited to see how his time, talents, and treasure support our work in the future!
Yasir is similarly passionate about our work and has supported our PwC partner relationship significantly this past year. We were able to secure a brand new grant and exciting work thanks to his efforts alongside another board member.
We were matched with a fantastic candidate who has a passion for education and a passion for the environment - the perfect combination for our board. She is now a full board member! Fabiana brings great skills in HR and a corporate perspective, as well as the international focus that we needed. The BoardLead team was great, handled our questions with patience, and was very supportive throughout the process!
Our new board members, matched through BoadLead, are enthusiastic, responsive, and excited about our mission. They fill skills gaps we had on our board and help us diversify our board in terms of geographies, backgrounds, and identities.
