Has anyone here started a non-profit org/ been a board member of one, in USA on H1B? Pls DM w/ your suggestions including immigration attorneys I should talk to. Really want to setup one for a philanthropic cause but google searches call it out as unlikely.

There is no restriction on being on the board of a non profit while on H1B. It’s a volunteer position.

I have navigated this. It’s no different than volunteering at a church or soup kitchen or other pro-Bono work you might do.
