Petya Stoyanov

For foundations, brands and initiatives

Workingtogether

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

Six things a small organisation rarely has all at once.

Most foundations doing this work are short of reach, not of commitment. That is the gap she is useful in.

01

An international address book

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.

02

Five languages

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.

03

Visibility, used sparingly

A public profile built over ten years, and the judgement to know when attention helps a cause and when it costs it something.

04

An institutional education

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.

05

Ground experience

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.

06

Discretion

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

What a partnership can look like.

Any of these, singly or together. The right shape usually becomes obvious in one conversation.

Ambassadorship

Representing a foundation publicly — campaigns, appearances, press and social channels — where a recognised face measurably widens the audience for the cause.

Fundraising and events

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.

Donor introductions

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.

Liaison and translation

Bridging organisations working across languages and borders — correspondence, applications, meetings and proposals in five languages.

Programme volunteering

Direct, sustained, unpublicised work on the ground, which remains what she is most committed to and what the letters on the biography page describe.

Brand and corporate giving

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

Every message is read by her personally.

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.
