2027 Board Member Priorities

We are committed to identifying and welcoming a class of the most talented leaders representing the diversity of stakeholders to whom we are accountable. Priority will be given to applicants who represent the strengths outlined, perspectives that reflect our organizational values and goals, and deepen our connection to our Minnesota community.

First and foremost:

We are seeking applicants who are committed to and passionate about our mission to ignite generosity and grow giving.

Based on the work we have planned for the coming years, we are prioritizing applicants who represent the following fields and areas of expertise:

  1. Legal*

  2. Employment & labor

  3. Corporate & business

  4. Fundraising

  5. Individual giving

  6. Corporate partnerships

  7. Technology & data

  8. Located in Greater Minnesota

  9. Nonprofit leadership at organizations of all sizes

We are committed to board leadership that is representative of the communities we serve, with diverse backgrounds, lived experiences, and identities, and we strongly encourage candidates of all identities to apply.

*The GiveMN Board of Directors is prioritizing community members whose perspectives and contributions as volunteer board members might be informed by their legal training, background, and experience. GiveMN retains separate outside counsel and is not seeking a board member to serve as the organization’s attorney.
