The Organisation
Boardmatch is the only Irish charity that specialises in not-for-profit board recruitment. We match individuals that are looking to volunteer their time and skills at board level, with charities and not-for-profits that have board and committee vacancies.
We believe the right balance of skilled voluntary trustees provides an NPO with the necessary skills to respond to changes, meet the challenges of the sector and to achieve their strategic objectives.
Boardmatch does this primarily through:
free online matching service matching individuals from the corporate/public sectors to not-for-profit boards.
bespoke Premium Search service for not-for-profit organisations.
Developing and providing training and other supports for boards.
Our core objective is building the governance capacity of not-for-profit boards. We have over 1,500 not-for-profits registered with us.
Boardmatch Ireland was established in 2005 to address the skills needs of the governing bodies of not-for-profits. It was established by a strong board including Mary Redmond of Arthur Cox, Siobhan Toale of Bank of Ireland, Roger Acton of ACCA, Kieran Loughran of the Disability Federation of Ireland and Mary Davis of Special Olympics.
To date, Boardmatch Ireland hasfacilitated the appointment of over5,000individuals to the boards of Not-For-Profits.
