The digital solution for governance of charities and not-for-profits.
Are you a charity or not-for-profit looking to conduct a governance review or board evaluation?
Not sure how to go about it in these challenging times of increasing scrutiny?
Well you’ve come to the right place – we can help.
Digi-Board uses the latest technology to support charities and not-for-profits to get hands-on with governance, and assist the board to meet its responsibilities.
Drawing on our experience of charity and not-for-profit governance, we have designed thought provoking questionnaires.
We ask the right questions in the right way to get to the root of good governance for your organisation.
Case Study - Age UK - Lancashire
In early 2019 Digi-Board and their ACEVO partner ran a competition to promote good governance in the charity sector.
The winning entry was selected from ACEVO members for a complete evaluation using Digi-Board’s ground-breaking governance tool. This went to Age UK Lancashire. Learn more >
In-depth experience of reviews with over 150 third sector organisations - annual income ranges from £100k to over £200m

It bugged him enough that he wanted to fix that. With Digi-Board he wanted to take the groan (it is so hard!) out of governance and make it a utility. **read more...**](/content/about-us/#Frank-Bennett/index.html)
