Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the Development/Fundraising Manager position at Employ America. With 16 years of extensive experience in corporate, legal, and nonprofit sectors, I bring a wealth of expertise in strategic fundraising, innovative approaches, and relationship building. My background aligns perfectly with the key responsibilities and goals outlined in the job description, and I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to your team.
At The Law Offices of James B. Coulter, I led a startup from inception to generating over $80 million in revenue within five years, demonstrating my capability in strategic growth and capacity expansion. My efforts in cultivating and managing key stakeholder relationships resulted in securing lucrative contracts and enhancing engagement, which directly contributed to a 30% increase in profitability. Additionally, my leadership in community outreach and internship programs successfully secured a three-year partnership with national firms, further showcasing my ability to build and sustain valuable partnerships.
During my tenure at Fugett & Associates, I directed comprehensive fundraising initiatives, including grant writing and public speaking, securing donations totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. I also developed advanced skills in contract drafting and negotiation, leading to a 25% expansion into new market segments through targeted partnerships. My role in attending and directing major philanthropic events underscored my proficiency in fostering collaborations and implementing successful community outreach initiatives.
In February 2017, I faced a significant life challenge when I was struck by a car, leading to 28 surgeries and an extended period of recovery. Despite this, I remained driven and continued to work independently, founding a nonprofit and authoring educational materials. My wife’s battle with cancer and her passing in 2019 further shaped my resilience and determination. These experiences have only strengthened my resolve to use my skills and knowledge to create a positive impact and legacy. I am now medically cleared to return to work, and I’m more motivated than ever to immerse myself in a challenging role and continue growing my consistent record of professional success.
Thank you for considering my application, and I will keep my fingers crossed in hopes that I am selected to interview. I am very excited about this opportunity because I truly anticipate a seamless transition with a quick learning curve. I love what this company is about and look forward to an opportunity to discuss how my background, skills, and experiences will contribute and align with the mission of Employ America.
Sincerely,
Jason D. Fogle
