BellesBoard

What BellesBoard is

BellesBoard is a board management portal for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. It brings meeting administration and board materials together, supporting one-time or recurring meeting schedules, shared calendars, attendance tracking, and meeting materials. Organizations can keep board documents centrally and set custom view permissions for meetings and documents. A built-in project management module lets users assign tasks and track their progress.

The platform also supports minutes management, board voting, and committee management. Enhanced and Enterprise plans add curated donor lists from Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT and an AI-powered fundraising assistant that prepares personalized donor messaging for board members. Other integrations include SignNow for e-signatures and membership systems such as Jonas Club Software. BellesBoard describes security controls that include multi-factor authentication and access controls. It is available on the web, iPhone, and Android, with remote access through the cloud or mobile app. Plans start at $200 a month, and a 30-day free trial includes mobile app access and unlimited users without requiring a credit card. Onboarding is included with every package and takes approximately 2–3 weeks after requested information is received.

Who it suits

BellesBoard suits nonprofit boards and mission-driven organizations that want a central place for meetings, documents, tasks, and governance work. Its plan eligibility is based on 501(c)(3) revenue, and Enhanced or Enterprise plans may suit boards seeking donor lists and fundraising messaging tools.

Limits

The free trial lasts 30 days. The Essential plan is for 501(c)(3) organizations with revenue up to $5M; Enhanced is for those up to $20M, and Enterprise is for those with $20M+ in revenue. Donor lists and the AI fundraising assistant are included in Enhanced and Enterprise plans.

Getting started

1. Visit the BellesBoard website.
2. Start the 30-day free trial; it does not require a credit card.
3. Use the web service or the iPhone or Android app.
4. Provide requested information for onboarding, which is included with all packages.

Verdict

BellesBoard is a fit for nonprofit boards seeking shared meeting administration, document permissions, and task tracking across web and mobile. Its trial offers a way to evaluate the service without a credit card. Consider another option if your organization is not eligible under its 501(c)(3) revenue-based plans or needs ongoing free access.
