How to Recognize Nonprofit Board Members with Digital Certificates and Badges

Every nonprofit has them — the dedicated board members who show up, lead, fundraise, and steer the mission forward.
They contribute years of experience, energy, and heart.

But when their term ends?

They get a handshake. Maybe a plaque.
And then… they’re gone.
No digital trail. No lasting recognition. No legacy.

🎯 The Problem: Board Members Leave, and So Does Their Visibility

Most nonprofits are guilty of this. A new board cycle starts, and the previous team is quietly removed from the website or newsletter. The contributions they made — sometimes over years — fade from public memory.

And that’s a loss.
For the board member.
For future donors.
For your organization’s history.
