Board Member (Colorado): Help Solo Founders Stay Well and Stay in Business

Most founder support is built for startups with investors and teams. The freelancer, the solo consultant, the service provider running a business alone from home gets almost nothing. Mindful Founders Inc. exists for them.

Mindful Founders Inc. is a Colorado 501(c)(3) that helps solo founders stay well and stay in business through community, education, and financial assistance. We run free online peer support circles, workshops, and an emergency micro-grant program. The need is real, and we're building the board to meet it.

We're looking for Colorado-based board members, especially people with local connections in Boulder, Denver, and surrounding communities.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Help shape MFI's strategy and hold us accountable to our mission
• Open doors to local businesses, chambers, coworking spaces, and funders
• Help recruit sponsors for micro-grants
• Approve the annual budget and key policies
• Make a personally meaningful annual gift (any amount; we aim for 100% board participation)
• Two Board Meetings per year with periodic email updates

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• Lives or works in Colorado
• Cares about small business owners, mental health, and/or economic stability
• Brings one or more of these: fundraising, finance or accounting, small business or chamber networks, mental health or wellness
• Board experience is a plus but not required.

TIME COMMITMENT:

About 2 to 3 hours per quarter, including short virtual board meetings. We keep board process light: most votes and input happen by email.

WHY JOIN:

You'll help build a young organization from the ground up and see the direct impact of your work on Colorado founders.

Meetings are virtual. Learn more at mindfulfounders.org.
