Dear Hiring Manager:
I am writing in response to your advertisement for the Grant Assistant Intern position at your organization. I am experienced in social justice and peace to develop essential skills in grant seeking and management.
I have experience working alongside experienced professionals which has allowed me to gain insight into the inner workings of an international non-profit organization, which was a transformative experience. I have built effective grant writing skills as a Virtual Instructional Coach. This role not only provided practical experience but also encouraged networking with others who shared a commitment to social justice, which led to future opportunities in this vital field.
Furthermore, the experience outlined in my resume, such as conducting prospect research and supporting grant management processes, were crucial for understanding how funding impacts program implementation. For example, I learned to create prospect profiles which helped me grasp how aligning an organization’s mission with potential funders’ interests is essential for sustainable support. I found this foundational knowledge invaluable for me in respect to considering a career in the non-profit sector.
Please review my application and contact me for an interview for the position. I have enclosed my cover letter and resume detailing my experience and qualifications for the position. Thank you very much.
