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)

THE MISSION: ARCHITECTING DIGNITY

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.

We are seeking a seasoned, high-level Senior Capital Strategy Advisor to secure their legacy by launching this landmark endowment. This is not a transactional fundraising role; it is a Capacity Building Mandate designed to leverage 15-20 years of institutional experience.

THE CORE MANDATE (CAPACITY BUILDING)

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.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES (Advisory Focus)

• 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.
  
  

Compensation & Legacy Equity

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.
  
  

Qualifications

• 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.
