Files that respect roles
Permissions follow position, not people. New treasurer? They get every financial document automatically.
- Role-based access
- Full version history
- Audit trail per file
TrueBoard is the first board platform built for organizations that have outgrown shared drives and group texts — files, chat, minutes, and motions in one permanent record. Less paperwork. More ministry.
Most small boards run on a duct-taped stack of shared drives, group texts, and email. It costs them every time leadership turns over, leading to governance failures that compound over time.
Google Drive shares are tied to people, not roles. New treasurer? Old chair still has access to everything. New secretary? They can't open the bylaws.
Group texts vanish when members change devices. Free chat apps cap history at 90 days. Either way, the moment you need to look back at why a decision was made, it's gone.
Agenda in Google Docs, attendance in a spreadsheet, motions in someone's notebook, follow-ups in email. Nothing connects to anything.
Six months from now, someone will ask why the board approved that. The answer lives in a chat thread, a PDF, a motion, and a vote tally — and when those live in different apps, no one can stitch them back together. Accountability quietly breaks. TrueBoard keeps them in one record.
Permissions follow position, not people. New treasurer? They get every financial document automatically.
Every message, channel, and DM becomes part of your board's permanent record. No 90-day cliff.
Templates for every kind of meeting. The whole board edits minutes together, live.
Robert's Rules of Order, made simple. Vote in the room or remotely — every motion logged.
When a new treasurer joins, they shouldn't have to email three people for access to last year's audit. TrueBoard binds permissions to roles, not individuals — and shows you exactly who saw what, when.
Consumer chat wasn't built to be a board's record. Free tiers cap history at 90 days; group texts die with the phone. TrueBoard chat is purpose-built for governance — permanent, searchable, and linked to your files and motions.
Pick a template, distribute the agenda, take attendance, and let every board member contribute to the minutes simultaneously. Approve them after the meeting — and they're sealed into the record.
Robert's Rules, modernized for hybrid boards. Whether you're voting around the conference table or polling absent members between meetings, the procedure runs itself — and the result is sealed into your permanent record.

Comparison reflects standard plans as of 2026. Generic-tool features vary by setup.
Generic tools require discipline to use well; TrueBoard enforces it by design.
When everything lives in one permanent record, the daily friction just disappears.
None of these are catastrophes. But small frictions like these quietly erode trust and continuity over years.
Every plan includes the full TrueBoard platform. Three flat tiers sized by your church, not your board — with generous storage included at every level.
