Board Manager
What it is
Board Manager is web-based nonprofit board management software for executive directors, board chairs, and governance committees. It keeps member roles, contact details, and term dates in one place, with alerts before terms expire. Committees, meetings, RSVPs, and attendance can be organized in the same system. For recruitment, a Kanban candidate pipeline and skills and diversity matrix help identify board gaps. Members can sign compliance documents through a link without logging in, while the Engage plan adds onboarding checklists. The free Starter plan costs $0/ month and supports up to 25 board members and candidates with 500 emails per month. Engage costs $19/ month and includes unlimited members and candidates, 2,500 emails per month, and 250 SMS per month. Data is stored in Supabase-hosted PostgreSQL in the United States, with Vercel hosting, encryption at rest, TLS in transit, organization-scoped records, membership checks, and database row security. CSV exports and deletion requests are available.
