Board Treasurer (Volunteer | Governance & Oversight)

4-6 hours / monthly

Ongoing

Build Resilience International Foundation (BRIF) is a Canadian nonprofit dedicated to strengthening resilience in individuals, communities, and systems facing rapid social, economic, and technological change. Our work sits at the intersection of resilience, education, neuroscience-informed leadership, and ethical innovation.

We are seeking a Board Treasurer to join our Board of Directors and provide financial oversight and fiduciary stewardship as we enter a growth phase. This is a governance role, not a bookkeeping or day-to-day accounting position.

The Treasurer works collaboratively with the Chair and Board to ensure sound financial practices, transparency, and compliance with the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act. Operational bookkeeping and systems support are handled separately or delegated.

This role is ideal for a CPA, retired or semi-retired finance professional, CFO, controller, or experienced board member who wants to contribute expertise to a meaningful cause while respecting clear governance boundaries.

If you value stewardship, integrity, and helping build something sustainable and mission-aligned, this is an opportunity to make a real impact.
