Tech-Ready Boards.
Mission-Ready Nonprofits.

We strengthen nonprofits by bringing them tech-fluent leadership—and give corporate leaders real-world board experience that builds judgment and creates impact.

Nonprofits are making technology decisions their boards can't guide.

Nonprofits are making AI and technology decisions their boards aren’t equipped to lead. Most boards lack the expertise to evaluate vendor risk, data exposure, and long-term digital strategy. This isn’t about tools. It’s about who’s in the room when high-stakes decisions are made.

Board.Dev places tech-fluent leaders on nonprofit boards so mission, capital, and risk are guided by real judgment. Nonprofits get the expertise they need; companies develop their leaders through real board-level decisions while strengthening the nonprofits they support.

Board service is where strategic decisions are made—and where leadership has real consequences.

What we do

Build Tech Fluency

We train boards and executives on AI, cybersecurity, and digital strategy—building the fluency every board member needs to make smart technology decisions, not just approve what staff recommend.

Develop Leaders Through Board Service

We prepare tech-fluent professionals—across marketing, finance, HR, operations, and technology—to serve on nonprofit boards where they make real strategic decisions, build real judgment in high-stakes conditions, and have real impact.

Partner with Companies

We work with companies who want to strengthen their nonprofit partners while developing their people. Through structured board service—which complements skills-based volunteering and grantmaking—we help shape real strategic decisions and create measurable impact without adding internal lift.

Tech leaders on boards by 2030 goal

Through the Nonprofit Tech Governance Congress, we convene the leaders setting standards for responsible AI in the social sector.

Why Board.Dev?

“Board members are essential to moving AI and tech forward. Their primary job in governance is to support the strategic direction. They aren’t setting it, but they are making sure it’s moving—and AI strategy is no different.”

Shannon Farley, Fast Forward

I’m a physician and know nothing about the IT side of things. … We need someone not to actually build the technology but to help us visualize how the infrastructure could help us move forward…. It’s a series of decisions with which we could use tech expertise as we grow, from minimum viable product all the way to architecting our next move.

Aral Surmeli, Founder, HERA Digital Health

“He’s helping us [understand] where we need to focus and not, where we might need to adjust.”

Alex Godin, cofounder of Lemontree Food Helpline

“It was just this beautiful gift. You don’t have that fulltime, dedicated tech data person on staff—that high-level strategy is expensive. Even for us, with a $160 million budget, it’s not really within the realm of possibilities. I gasped to think that there are tech professionals who feel like they would not be a value add to a nonprofit. This is such an enormous need.”
