Dear …………,
Your advertisement on the Dayjob.com website for a Grant Manager caught my eye, as I appear to be a perfect match for it.
I can effectively oversee every part of your grant making applications and processes.
Your job advert specifically states that candidates should be a resilient self-starter, who can manage their own caseloads and prioritise their work effectively. I can do this and also have the administrative skills needed to simultaneously manage a large volume of different funds and programmes. In short as an exceptional storyteller with the ability to write clearly and concisely, I am exactly the sort of person that you are looking for.
With me you will get a proven operator who has a track record of successfully securing bids, tenders and contracts. That’s not all, I also have over 5 years’ experience of working in the charity, voluntary and community sectors. During this time, I have gained expert knowledge of the fundraising landscape, and learnt how to continuously improve internal grant management systems.
In my current role I manage relationships with a portfolio of Trusts and Grant Making Foundations. At work I explore potential areas for funding, income growth and diversification, gather market intelligence and make recommendations and proposals to senior management. With my compatriots I have a reputation for having a good understanding of donor rules and regulations. Due to my strong IT skills, I am the ‘go to’ person for all MS Office or Google Workspace and databases issues. My experiences to date have left me with the ability to produce timely and accurate internal reports on fund activities.
On a personal level I am superb communicator who is able to develop sustainable, close working relationships with key stakeholders. Furthermore, I have excellent networking skills that allow me to connect with large groups as well as with individuals. I must also mention that I am a committed team player who will always support colleagues.
Right now, I would like to join a reputable organisation that encourages applications from suitably qualified and eligible applicants regardless of their personal circumstances.
Greater details of my accomplishments and achievements can be found in the resume that came attached with this letter. Should you wish to interview me, I can be available within just a few days, and I can provide references at the time of interview should they be required. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
