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 140-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 150 million garments provided across our history – many of them handmade in the early years – to those in need.
In recent years, our organization has embarked on a powerful journey of renewal, following a period of decline from its former standing as a widespread volunteer-driven force. Over the past seven years, under the leadership of a new Executive Director and the revitalization of an engaged, working board, we have laid a strong foundation for transformative growth. Our mission remains as vital as ever, and we are actively developing innovative service and revenue models to modernize our operations and significantly amplify our impact. This strategic shift marks a move away from a decentralized, ad-hoc volunteer structure toward a sustainable, coordinated supply chain of goods and services—ensuring we meet the needs of our communities with greater consistency, reach, and efficiency.
Ready for the future
In recent years we've completed phase 1 of our new strategic planning process, clarified 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 bolster 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 to meet the moment of need in our communities.
Board recruitment (YOU!)
We are eager to add anyone dedicated to serving our mission, but there are several specific areas of industry experience that 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 in the Philadelphia region.
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 (
If what you've read so far and in that board agreement excites you, then we look forward to hearing from you! When you submit the application form, please share answers to the below questions in the Cover Letter field. This will help us to quickly get to know you, and we'll be in touch soon!
