Description
Voluntary board role at the Happier Lives Institute, a UK-registered nonprofit using wellbeing research to identify the world's most cost-effective charities — particularly suited to someone with fundraising or philanthropy experience.
  • Governance & strategy: Oversee HLI's strategic direction, financial stewardship, and compliance with charity law, providing constructive challenge to the executive team
  • Fundraising focus: Advise on income diversification, major donor and philanthropic relationships, and high-net-worth engagement to support HLI's growth ambitions
  • Light time commitment: ~2–4 hours/month across approximately 4 online board meetings per year; initial 3-year term
  • Mission impact: Contribute to an organisation whose research has helped direct over $10 million to high-impact charities and whose WELLBY metric is used in UK Treasury guidance
No visa requirements are mentioned in the source; the role is remote-first and voluntary.
