BoardAssist promotes high level volunteerism in New York by making it easy for people to give back. Many New Yorkers want to serve the nonprofit community in a board capacity but are unclear how to access what they perceive to be a clubby, closed world. For others the challenge is researching and evaluating potential board opportunities. BoardAssist candidates greatly appreciate how BoardAssist demystifies the process for them, and the volume and breadth of BoardAssist board seats available to them. They also value the wealth of information BoardAssist gathers for them on each organization and how that helps ensure candidates will choose a strong fit. Boards range from start up organizations to well seasoned nonprofits with budgets over $100 Million, and cover all public interest areas. BoardAssist offers their services to candidates on a no fee basis. No other organization offers personalized board matching with nearly as many choices.

Here’s what BoardAssist candidates had to say:

"As an investment banker, time constraints make even doing the research to find an appropriate non-profit board seem like an insurmountable obstacle. BoardAssist takes away that excuse for not getting involved and puts all the relevant information for making wise choices at your fingertips."

“The number and breadth of board choices available to me was enormous. BoardAssist found out all the details on time and financial commitment on the boards in which I was interested so that I could focus in on boards that made the most sense for me. It helped a lot that they were able to give me strong details on exactly who sat on each of these boards as well. While many boards list their board members by name on their website, BoardAssist was able to give me color as to who these people were beyond their names.”

“I was quite skeptical about board service and how substantive my role would be on a nonprofit board before BoardAssist. I didn’t want to sit on a board where I just went to a lot of parties and wrote checks. Having played an active role for three years on the board where BoardAssist placed me, I see clearly with the right board fit, you really can make a difference.”
