Dear W.R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust,
I am writing in regards to the Senior Grant Officer position. Based on the job description, I believe that my 5 years of professional experience make me the perfect candidate for this role.
In my previous positions, I have been responsible for identifying and vetting prospective grantees, conducting evaluation and assessment site visits of prospective grantees, and building strong relationships with grantees. I have also attended Board of Trustee meetings and presented grant evaluation assessments and grant applications. My experience has taught me how to represent a trust with integrity and engage with a wide array of stakeholders – including grantees, other philanthropic leaders, and thought leaders – to understand the opportunities and challenges within the Trust’s philanthropic priorities.
I am confident that I can be an asset to your team and would welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications in further detail. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Ryan Wright
