Overview
Mission
OnBoard aims to increase the number of women in executive leadership and on corporate boards, driving business and societal value through diversity of thought, experiences, and leadership.
What it reported doing in 2025
The OnBoard Accelerator classes take a cohort of qualified women and help them get closer to their goal of serving on a for-profit board. With a focus on personal marketing skills the course prepares each woman for the board interview process ensuring that she can clearly articulate the value she brings to the table.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
