Director (Board Member)
The big picture
Play a leading role in the next chapter of an organization that continues to do good in the community since 1885. National Giving Alliance has a 139-year history of providing new clothing to individuals in need. Our decorated past includes leadership from two First Ladies (Edith Roosevelt and Frances Cleveland), more than 900 local branches across the US at our peak, and over 127 million garments provided across our history – many of them handmade in the early years – to those in need.
In recent decades the organization declined from its former glory as a ubiquitous volunteer organization. Over the last seven years, with the hiring of a new Executive Director and replenishment of a working board, we've laid the foundation for the start of a new chapter. Our mission is as critical now as ever, and we are strategizing new service and revenue models to modernize our operations and exponentially increase our impact. The shift will move us from a decentralized ad-hoc volunteer model to a sustainable, coordinated, supply chain of goods and services.
Ready for the future
Last year we completed phase 1 of our new strategic planning process, reimagined our vision and mission for the future in the most significant realignment in the organization's history, and improved our bylaws and governance structure to best practices.
We need to build out our board with top-quality board members who can steward the organization to new heights. It's high-impact work. You will guide our operational and capital strategies that will help NGA grow not 10% but 10x in the years ahead. Your work to make NGA better will directly make our communities better.
Board recruitment (YOU!)
Specific skill sets we are looking to add to the board:
We are looking for individuals with prior non-profit board experience. Our board is currently at 12 members and we're looking to add up to 6 more in the first half of 2025. Diversity – in every sense of the word – is a top priority for this process. The headquarters is in Warminster, PA, and we're looking for board members located both in the Philadelphia region and excellent candidates anywhere in the country (board and committee meetings are conducted often virtually and always hybrid, so remote participation is easy).
We want NGA board membership to be a rewarding experience for everyone involved, so we've taken great care recently to document what we are looking for in our board members (and likewise what we reciprocate): NGA Board Member Agreement (
