Most non profit bod positions require you to either directly or indirectly make donations to them.

If you’re a big donor or can make connections to those that can donate, they’ll probably ask you to be on their board.

Find a not for profit you care about and start volunteering. Ask if you can join a committee. Yes sometimes companies try and place people on boards, but as someone who has served on multiple nominating committees, the #1 thing. NFP is looking for is people engaged with the mission.
