Our Mission
We develop our executives to be high-impact service leaders, and we connect them to board opportunities at high-impact community organizations where they can make a difference.
Community Impact
We Strive To Make Business a Force For Good.
Through our nonprofit board leadership program, employee charitable match, and team service events, we are committed to leveraging our people, skills, and capital to make an outsized impact in our community.
Board Leadership Program
How We Do It
We place our executives on the boards of nonprofits that inspire their passions and shape our communities. Through our customized training program, we coach our team on leading with influence and build the skills necessary to operate as highly effective board members. We invite key nonprofit executives to join our trainings on operational excellence and capacity building.
The Outcome
The nonprofits with which we engage operate at measurably higher impact and scale because of our influence.
Representative Nonprofits Where We Serve
Serving as a board member with the 24 Foundation has given me an even deeper personal connection to their mission of supporting those impacted by cancer and the complexities and challenges beyond the medical side—mental, emotional, and financial. The 24 Foundation’s supportive oncology programs have been invaluable to my family, and I’m honored to bring my perspective to help expand these resources for the community. It’s rewarding to use my professional skills to further an organization that has meant so much to me and so many others.”

Trey Chandler
Chief Financial Officer, Home Solutions
Organization Mission
Through direct support and advocacy, we assist families with children as they transition from homelessness to sustainable housing and stable homes.
why i serve
Having lived in multiple locations with high rates of homelessness/food insecurity (e.g. New Haven and Boston), I believe that homelessness and housing affordability are fundamentally solvable problems, but ones that require specific attention in a growing and increasingly unaffordable city.
Justin Maxwell
VP of Monetization, Home Solutions
Organization Mission
To honor those who served by providing housing solutions and employment opportunities to qualified Veterans.
why i serve
My brother is a medically discharged member of the US Army, where he served two tours in Afghanistan. He followed our grandfather’s path into the military in pursuit of protecting our nation. I believe that it is incumbent on all citizens to support our veterans in reincorporating themselves back into society. Having a home that is sufficient for their needs is incredibly important to satisfy these transitions.
Walker Fuller
Chief Financial Officer, Three Ships
Organization Mission
TABLE delivers healthy food and nutrition education to children in Orange County, North Carolina.
why i serve
Access to healthy, nutritious food has an enormous impact on childhood development. TABLE’s unique approach provides food security and nutrition education to more than 1,000 children in my local community, and it’s important to me that we find ways to support our neighbors and provide an equitable foundation for each child. I also love that my entire family can get involved with TABLE and easily understand the organization’s impact.
