Fund the Leadership That Makes AI and Tech Investments Work

Digital transformation isn’t just about tools. It’s about board and executive leadership—the human infrastructure needed to adopt technology safely, ethically, and effectively.

Yet too often, grants cover tools but not leadership. Without board-level tech strategy, nonprofits can’t maximize your investment. With it, they turn funding into lasting capacity, safety, and mission-aligned innovation.

Digital tools alone don’t drive impact. Leadership does. Board.Dev equips boards to harness AI, cybersecurity, and technology in service of mission.

Why Board.Dev?

When Funders Ignore Tech Leadership

Portfolio risk.

56% of nonprofits don’t require multi-factor authentication (MFA) to access systems.

Hidden exposure.

More than 70% of nonprofits haven’t run a vulnerability assessment in the past three years.

Systemic weakness.

Nonprofits and NGOs raise over $30B annually—yet 75% don’t actively monitor their networks.

The result: funders risk pouring money into organizations that will collapse under predictable, preventable failures. Supporting board-level tech leadership protects your entire portfolio.

11%

Only 11% of funders support technology capacity building for grantees.
