Ambassadorship
Representing a foundation publicly — campaigns, appearances, press and social channels — where a recognised face measurably widens the audience for the cause.
For foundations, brands and initiatives
She is not looking for a cause. She is looking for the organisations already doing the work.
Petya Stoyanov collaborates with foundations, humanitarian projects, brands and international initiatives — most closely with those serving children, mothers, and women in and after incarceration. Ten years of work that moved her constantly between countries left her with two things a small organisation can rarely buy: people who take her call in a dozen cities, and five languages in which to make the ask. Enquiries reach her directly, and she answers them herself.
What she brings
Most foundations doing this work are short of reach, not of commitment. That is the gap she is useful in.
A decade of work that rarely kept her in one country: founders, private clients, houses, hoteliers, event organisers and press across Europe, the Balkans, the Gulf and the Americas. Relationships built in person, over years, and still open to her — the kind that cannot be bought, hired or replicated by a mailing list.
Bulgarian, Russian, English and Spanish fluently, with conversational French. Enough to court a donor in Sofia, correspond with a ministry in Cancún and sit with a mother in the visiting room — each in the language they think in, and none of it through an interpreter.
A public profile built over ten years, and the judgement to know when attention helps a cause and when it costs it something.
A degree in Political Science with a specialisation in International Relations — practical when a project meets a ministry, a permit, or a cross-border donor.
Since January 2024, sustained volunteering in Quintana Roo with two foundations and a church community. She has done the unglamorous part and will do it again.
She has spent two years working without documenting it. Nothing is published about a partner, a beneficiary or a child without their explicit permission.
Forms of collaboration
Any of these, singly or together. The right shape usually becomes obvious in one conversation.
Representing a foundation publicly — campaigns, appearances, press and social channels — where a recognised face measurably widens the audience for the cause.
Galas, benefit dinners, auctions and collection drives — from filling the room to hosting it. She knows who to invite, how to ask, and how an evening is built so that guests leave having given more than they arrived intending to. She has sat on the guest side of these evenings for years; she knows exactly how the ask lands.
Identifying individuals, families and companies with both the means and the inclination to give, and putting them in front of foundations they would otherwise never learn existed. A local organisation in Quintana Roo has no route to a private donor in Monaco or Sofia. She does, and this is frequently the single most valuable thing she can offer.
Bridging organisations working across languages and borders — correspondence, applications, meetings and proposals in five languages.
Direct, sustained, unpublicised work on the ground, which remains what she is most committed to and what the letters on the biography page describe.
For companies wanting a social programme with substance rather than a photograph: structuring it, choosing credible partners, and standing behind it publicly.
Write to her
There is no assistant and no agency between you and this form. Tell her what your organisation does and where you are stuck; that is enough to begin.
Enquiries from registered foundations and established organisations are answered first. She reads everything else too, and replies as she is able.
