Overview
The Volunteer Consulting Group (VCG), founded in 1969, is a nonprofit
organization that works regionally and nationally to strengthen the
governing and management capability of nonprofit boards of directors.
Fundamental to VCG's mission is bringing outstanding leadership into
service as board members of the full spectrum of nonprofit organizations:
health, human service, educational, cultural, environmental, advocacy
and community development nonprofit organizations.
Regionally, VCG consults to boards
on organizational and operational issues: structure, leadership succession
and effective governance and oversight. VCG also recruits
trustees--assisting boards in defining their board recruitment
objectives and then conducting a targeted search for business, professional
and community leaders with the desired expertise, diversity of perspective
and resources. In addition, the organization works
with corporations to build awareness of the need and opportunity
for their executives to serve as trustees--and to find appropriate
boards where their experience will be beneficial.
Nationally, VCG is the creator and sponsor of www.boardnetUSA.org,
a dynamic web resource that enables potential board members--and
nonprofit boards needing leadership--to find each other. In addition,
VCG serves as a resource and leadership facilitator for "Board
Connector" Programs involved in strategically connecting nonprofit
boards and potential board members across the United States.
VCG is funded through contributions and grants from over 30 foundations
and corporations (including American Express, Bristol-Myers Squibb,
Citigroup, the Clark, GE and Hearst Foundations, JPMorgan Chase,
Pfizer, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and Verizon). Services
are made available to nonprofit organizations on an ability-to-pay
basis.
