The Taylor Legacy Foundation
Founding Fiduciary Board

Help us build something that lasts.

The founding fiduciary board of any nonprofit defines its character for decades. We are looking for the right people to define ours.

What it is

What is a Founding Fiduciary Board?

A Founding Fiduciary Board is a legally responsible governing body that oversees:

  • Organizational compliance and risk
  • Financial accountability and sustainability
  • Mission integrity and strategic direction
  • Readiness for licensing (DHS/OCYF) and public funding

This is not an advisory group.

Board members serve a 1–2 year founding term, attend quarterly meetings, participate in a committee assignment, and are expected to serve as ambassadors of the organization's mission within their professional and community networks.

Expectations
