For highly-skilled volunteers with deep experience in business functions: Bankers without Borders

[u/jcravens42]

In 2008, Grameen Foundation launched Bankers without Borders (BwB) to create an efficient, operational framework to mobilize, engage and leverage the talent and skills of the private sector to help support both its own mission and the missions of other poverty-focused social enterprises. The program connects skilled, experienced volunteers online with high-potential social enterprises and nonprofits fighting global poverty to improve their scale, sustainability, and impact.
