SENIOR CAPITAL STRATEGY ADVISOR (VOLUNTEER / PRO BONO)

Organization: Heyoka Fire Corp. (501(c)(3) Non-Profit)
Program: Enduring Dignity Endowment Location: Baltimore, MD (Remote/Flexible)
Status: Volunteer/Pro Bono (Expense Stipend Provided)
Commitment: Structured, limited engagement (e.g., 12 months / 10-15 hours per month)

Heyoka Fire Corp. is building the Enduring Dignity Endowment
—the first institutional capital vehicle dedicated to financing trauma-informed housing through our proprietary Sanctuary Governance model. We do not build affordable housing; we restore structural integrity to the human spirit.

The primary goal of this role is to successfully launch the Enduring Dignity Endowment by securing its first institutional commitment (e.g., a $5M Mission‑Related Investment, or MRI) and to mentor the Founder (Cassondra Bowden) in the execution of high‑level institutional capital pitches.

• Capital Strategy & Pitch Refinement:
  Advise the Founder on structuring the Enduring Dignity Endowment to be compliant and compelling for institutional LPs (Endowments, Foundations, MRIs).
• Access & Introductions:
  Utilize existing professional networks to secure initial, high‑level strategic meetings with Portfolio Managers and Investment Officers at target institutions (e.g., Baltimore Community Foundation, Johns Hopkins).
• Mentorship & Training:
  Provide structured guidance to the Founder on due diligence readiness, financial narrative translation (converting the Sanctuary Governance thesis into IRR/Impact metrics), and managing post‑commitment compliance.
• Documentation Oversight:
  Review and advise on the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) summary and Impact Reports to ensure institutional rigor.

This is a volunteer/pro bono role designed for an executive in retirement or transition seeking profound social legacy.

• Expense Stipend:
  All travel, conference fees, and necessary business expenses will be covered by Heyoka Fire Corp.
• Legacy Equity:
  Guaranteed, high‑visibility recognition as the initiating architect of the Enduring Dignity Endowment.
• Capacity Building:
  Your direct, measurable legacy is the transference of high‑level capital‑raising knowledge to the Founder, securing the long‑term future of the non‑profit.

• 15+ years of experience in institutional finance, asset management, or major foundation development.
• Proven track record securing seven‑figure investments from endowments or foundations.
• Deep understanding of ESG, Impact Investing, or Mission‑Related Investment (MRI) structures.
• Commitment to the mission of structural integrity and dignity, as defined by the Sanctuary Governance methodology.
