Board and advisory
The seats that steer this as it grows.
Help guide the organization as it grows. Bring judgment and relevant experience, and understand the responsibilities before taking a seat.
The work
- Governance. The decisions that are genuinely the board’s, including money and risk.
- Holding us to our own promises, starting with How Giving Works.
- Opening doors, which every board member does anyway.
Your first month
- Talk to us properly, more than once.
- Do one thing with us first. Almost everyone in a seat here started that way.
Who it suits
- You bring what the current board does not: finance, law, fundraising, governance, or scale.
- You know the difference between governing and managing.
You do not need capacity to write a large cheque. We will not sell a seat.
Not this
- An honorary title. If you want your name on a list without the work, this is not it.
- A quick process. This one should be slow.
Thoughtful oversight helps the organization serve its community well.
