NED Capital Launches Crowdfunder Campaign to Build “Good Causes” Platform Connecting Charities with Board-Level Expertise and Practical Governance Support
London, United Kingdom – [Insert Date] – NED Capital, the UK-based specialist Non-Executive Director (NED) recruitment firm, today announced the launch of a fundraising campaign on Crowdfunder.co.uk to support charity work through a new “Good Causes” platform designed to strengthen leadership, governance, and impact across the not-for-profit sector.
The campaign aims to mobilise supporters, partners, and values-led organisations to help expand access to experienced board members, improve governance standards, and provide practical resources for charities operating under increasing demand and tighter budgets. By raising funds through Crowdfunder, NED Capital intends to accelerate the development and rollout of a scalable platform that makes it easier for charities—particularly smaller organisations—to access the board-level skills they need.
A Practical Response to a Real Governance Gap
Charities are delivering frontline services in communities across the UK, often with limited internal capacity and significant regulatory responsibilities. Yet many struggle to recruit trustees and Non-Executive Directors with specialist expertise in finance, risk, audit, digital, transformation, and commercial strategy. The result can be over-stretched leadership teams and boards that need additional support to meet growing expectations around transparency, resilience, and long-term sustainability.
NED Capital’s Good Causes platform is designed to help bridge this gap by creating a clear pathway for charities to engage experienced leaders—people who can bring independent challenge, strengthen decision-making, and help organisations plan confidently for the future.
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
In addition to individual supporters, the Crowdfunder campaign invites ethical businesses, professional firms, and community partners to participate. Organisations that want to contribute to the charity sector can support the campaign financially, share the campaign with their networks, or collaborate through sponsorship, joint events, and board placement initiatives.
“We want it to be easier for charities to access the right leadership at the right time,” said a spokesperson for NED Capital. “When boards are strong, charities are stronger—and the beneficiaries they serve ultimately gain. This Crowdfunder campaign is about building something practical that charities can use, and that experienced leaders can be proud to support.”
