Dear …………,
With the utmost enthusiasm I would like to put my name forward for your position of Fundraising Manager which I saw advertised on the ………… website.
I can help secure and sustain your organisations existing and future funding streams.
Your job advert specifically states that candidates must be able to increase levels of engagement, interest and financial support from trusts, foundations, major donors, and individual giving. I can do this and also effectively prioritise a varied and high volume of work. In short with my ability to quickly understand supporter motivations, I am exactly the sort of person that you are looking for.
With me you will get a proven operator who is keen to use my knowledge and experience to ensure that all your financial and non-financial targets are achieved. That’s not all, I am also good at generating publicity by work with local newspapers and radio to maximise exposure and awareness of the charity. You can rely on me to develop strategic relationships, partnerships, and opportunities to secure sponsorship funding and other benefits for your operations.
In my current role I cover the whole spectrum of fundraising duties. At work I bring stories to life in photos, videos and graphics so as to deliver compelling and impactful pitches to trusts and foundations for financial support. My work requires me to regularly travel within the area, and occasionally to other parts of the country.
With my compatriots I have a reputation for developing supporters through nurturing relationships and develop ways of encouraging new supporters. My experiences to date have left me with the ability to facilitate fundraising across corporate and public initiatives.
Through my career I have learnt how to think strategically and work operationally. I have also become an expert at securing sponsorship and commercial participation opportunities for events.
On a personal level I am deeply committed individual who is willing to work evenings and weekends as required and can travel around. Furthermore, I possess the communication skills needed to network within the charity sector so as to keep abreast of developments, informed of changes in fundraising trends and keep my own knowledge up to date.
Right now, I would like to join a company where people can develop their skills, knowledge and careers in a supportive and flexible environment. If you feel there is a mutual interest, I will welcome the opportunity to meet with you to learn more about your company and the requirements of the vacancy. My skills and qualifications are detailed further in the attached copy of my CV for your perusal at your earliest convenience. Please contact me is you see potential in my application.
Yours sincerely,
