Making Generosity Grow

At GiveWise, we believe in fostering meaningful connections between donors and charities, breaking down barriers to generosity. As a Canadian registered charity and donor-advised fund, our mission is to deliver the most trusted and inspiring giving experience through a simple and widely accessible platform. We are seeking dynamic, passionate individuals to join our Board of Directors and help guide the strategic direction of our growing organization.

About the Role

  • Governance-Focused Board: This is an advisory and advocacy board that provides guidance to help GiveWise achieve its mission.

  • Time Commitment:

    • Quarterly Meetings: Held four times a year, typically lasting two hours. Meetings can be attended in person at our office or virtually via Microsoft Teams.

    • Annual Strategy Session: A half-day strategy session to discuss and refine GiveWise’s long-term goals.

    • Sub-Committees: Participation in sub-committees may be required as needed (e.g., Board Recruitment, Finance).

  • Volunteer Position: All board roles are unpaid.

Who We Are Looking For

  • Share a passion for generosity and creating community impact.

  • Bring expertise in areas such as finance, estate planning, technology, law, the charitable sector, or scaling a company from start up to growth phase.

  • Embrace collaboration and innovation to address societal challenges.

  • Align with our mission and are proud ambassadors of GiveWise’s work to make giving and fundraising accessible.

Why Join Us?

Interested in Serving on the Board? At GiveWise, we’re always grateful for individuals who are passionate about growing generosity in Canada. While our Board of Directors is formed through a selective process and by invitation, we welcome expressions of interest from those who feel aligned with our mission and values.
