NED Capital Launches Crowdfunder Campaign to Support UK Charity Sector Through Board-Level Leadership Initiatives
London, United Kingdom – [Insert Date] – NED Capital, the UK-based specialist recruitment firm focused exclusively on Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) and board-level leadership, today announced the launch of a new fundraising campaign on Crowdfunder.co.uk to expand its charity support programmes and strengthen governance across the UK’s not-for-profit sector.
The Crowdfunder initiative will enable NED Capital to increase its direct support to charities by providing access to experienced Non-Executive Directors, governance training resources, and advisory programmes designed to improve financial oversight, strategic planning, and long-term sustainability.
As charities face increasing financial pressures, regulatory complexity, and rising demand for services, access to experienced board members has never been more critical. Strong governance helps ensure charities operate effectively, protect donor funds, and maximise their impact in the communities they serve.
Supporting Governance Where It Matters Most
Funds raised through the Crowdfunder campaign will be used to expand NED Capital’s charity outreach programmes, including:
-
Providing pro bono and subsidised Non-Executive Director placements for UK charities
-
Delivering governance education and board-effectiveness workshops
-
Supporting smaller charities that lack access to experienced financial and commercial leadership
-
Developing resources to help charities strengthen financial controls and long-term planning
-
Expanding partnerships with charitable organisations across the UK
Many charities operate with limited access to senior commercial expertise, particularly in areas such as finance, strategy, and risk management. NED Capital’s initiative is designed to bridge this gap by connecting charities with experienced senior executives who can provide independent oversight and strategic guidance.
Commitment to Social Impact
NED Capital has long supported the charity sector through its network of experienced board-level professionals, many of whom serve as trustees and Non-Executive Directors for charitable organisations. The Crowdfunder campaign represents a significant expansion of this commitment.
“We believe that strong governance is essential to the success and sustainability of charities,” said a spokesperson for NED Capital. “Through this Crowdfunder campaign, we aim to increase access to experienced Non-Executive Directors and governance support, helping charities operate more effectively and achieve greater impact.”
“Non-Executive Directors bring independent perspective, financial oversight, and strategic insight. By supporting charities with experienced board members, we can help strengthen organisations that play a vital role in society.”
Addressing a Critical Need in the Charity Sector
The UK charity sector contributes billions of pounds annually to the economy and supports millions of people. However, many charities face challenges recruiting experienced board members with the commercial and financial expertise required to navigate increasingly complex operating environments.
This fundraising initiative will help ensure that charities of all sizes—including smaller and regional organisations—can benefit from high-quality governance support.
Long-Term Vision
NED Capital’s Crowdfunder campaign forms part of a broader long-term strategy to enhance governance standards across the not-for-profit sector. By building a sustainable funding model, the organisation aims to expand its charity programmes, increase pro bono placements, and support more organisations each year.
How the Crowdfunder Will Help
Funds raised through the Crowdfunder campaign will be used to expand NED Capital’s charity-focused initiatives, including:
-
Developing and maintaining the Good Causes platform and its charity onboarding journey
-
Funding pro bono and subsidised NED/trustee search support for qualifying charities
-
Creating governance toolkits, templates, and board-effectiveness resources
-
Delivering webinars and practical workshops on charity governance, finance, risk, and strategy
-
Building partnerships with charities and community organisations across the UK
-
Supporting outreach to attract more high-quality board candidates who want to contribute to social impact
This initiative will also help NED Capital create a more consistent pipeline of board-level volunteers and experienced professionals who are motivated by purpose and want to use their skills to support good causes.
Accountability, Transparency, and Measurable Impact
NED Capital’s campaign places emphasis on transparency and outcomes. The Good Causes platform will be designed to track measurable impact such as the number of charities supported, the number of board roles filled, and the type of expertise deployed (e.g., finance leadership, digital transformation, audit/risk, ESG, fundraising, and operations). Over time, NED Capital aims to report on outcomes and share insights into what governance interventions most effectively strengthen charity resilience.
The platform will also support better matching: not just filling roles, but aligning the right experience to the right charity context—whether that means supporting a charity facing a period of growth, strengthening financial controls, improving oversight, navigating merger discussions, responding to regulatory change, or building long-term fundraising sustainability.
Invitation to Support and Partner
The campaign also reflects growing recognition of the importance of professional governance in ensuring charity effectiveness, transparency, and accountability.
