BoardMatch Leaders Program

Boardmatch™ Leaders is an initiative of Altruvest Charitable Services, a registered Canadian charity, in partnership with top corporations. For more than 20 years, the BoardMatch™ Leaders program has expanded the talent pool and enhanced governance skills of charitable sector boards and senior leaders. We’re fostering more impactful charities and stronger communities. Founding partners include Scotiabank and Ontario Trillium Foundation.

We partner with corporations by training emerging talent and leaders on their roles and responsibilities as board members. We then match them with a charity in need of their skills and interests. To date, we have placed over 800 talented BoardMatch™ Leaders on charity boards in Canada.
