How Partnership Works

We partner with local community foundations and nonprofit support organizations to nominate and enroll nonprofits in free opportunities for board matching and governance training. Partnerships can take many forms and are founded on a mutual desire to mutually support each other’s mission and elevate nonprofit leadership in the boardroom.
