ACEVO has announced James Purnell will join the ACEVO board from January 2011, following expected approval by ACEVO members at the ACEVO AGM that month.
He will be paid a nominal sum for his advice.
The move comes as Purnell, who recently announced he would be stepping down from politics, continues to expand his portfolio of civil society-related activities.
He has become increasingly involved in the work of think tank demos and advocacy group London Citizens.
Stephen Bubb, chief executive of ACEVO, said: "I have been courting James for years, so I am delighted he will finally be joining me round the board table."
