The Asylum Project operates under the leadership of a dedicated Board of Directors. Together, our team brings deep experience in nonprofit governance, advocacy, technology, and finance. Most importantly, our board members act as trusted stewards of our mission while keeping our organization directly accountable to the communities we serve.
At TAP, this work is not charity. Rather, it represents true solidarity.
Our Board of Directors provides strategic stewardship, financial oversight, and legal governance to ensure TAP fulfills its mission safely and sustainably. Members meet quarterly to evaluate operational goals, review compliance standards, and support key community initiatives.
The Asylum Project continues to grow, and we are actively seeking dedicated, justice-driven people to help guide our next steps.

Whether you bring years of board experience or feel new to nonprofit governance, we value your commitment above all else. In short, your dedication to helping people find safety, freedom, and belonging matters most.
We do not require a financial contribution. Instead, we ask for your passion and heart.
