About Us
Boardmatch Ireland is the National Corporate Governance Charity in Ireland. We work to improve governance in the not-for-profit sector by strengthening boards and management committees.
We do this by providing services and support to not for profits and charities to help them improve and strengthen their board composition.
Our model is to provide boards with the right composition of experts from the voluntary sector and dynamic people from the commercial sector which contributes to a well governed sector. We believe the right balance of skilled voluntary directors provides a charity 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:
- A FREE online matching service matching professionals from the corporate/public sectors to not-for-profit boards.
- A bespoke Board Search service for not-for-profit organisations.
- A range of training and consultancy services to the not-for-profit sector on Good Governance practice.
- Developing and providing training packages and other supports for boards and board members.
- Providing advice, support and guidance on Governance.
Our core objective is building the governance capacity of not-for-profit boards. We have over 1,300 not-for-profits using our services and have placed over 2,300 candidates onto not-for-profit boards.
