What BoardTalk Does

BoardTalk is an AI-powered email service that enables organizations to communicate through trusted supporters while staff manages outreach from one centralized platform. Created by LendingTree Founder and CEO Doug Lebda and Neal Harrington, BoardTalk helps nonprofits and mission-driven organizations activate their networks for fundraising, recruitment, and relationship-building.

How It Works

BoardTalk creates supporter profiles for board members, donors, alumni, and supporters with dedicated outbound email addresses aligned to your organization.

BoardTalk uploads contact lists and matches each contact with the supporter with the strongest relationship.

Launch AI-assisted campaigns. Staff creates the campaign message and sequence; BoardTalk sends individualized outreach with optional supporter approval workflows.

Manage replies centrally. Responses flow into one inbox so staff can monitor conversations, coordinate follow-up, and continue communication.
