ABOUT
With me, you will find a highly energetic,
industrious, mission-driven professional
with a B.A. in Mass Media Arts. I have
extensive knowledge of philanthropy, as
well as experience in fund development,
donor cultivation, and fundraising strategy
tied to a mission. I have 10+ years of
experience in friend and fund raising in the
healthcare and education sectors. I have
worked in a diverse range of non-profit
organizations, including social service
agencies, educational institutions, and
cultural organizations.
As a mission-driven individual, I am
committed to advancing the goals and
objectives of organizations. I believe that
philanthropy plays a critical role in
supporting the work of these organizations
and building strong communities (i.e.
Howard University Hospital, Magic Johnson
AIDS Benefit and the Cancer Society
Leadership Board). I am passionate about
developing relationships with donors and
supporters and creating innovative
fundraising strategies that align with the
mission and vision of an organization.
In my former role as a Business
Development Consultant, I have
demonstrated my ability to design and
implement successful fundraising
campaigns, build and maintain strong
relationships with donors and stakeholders,
and develop compelling fundraising
proposals and materials. I have also worked
closely with board members and volunteers
to engage them in fundraising efforts and
support the organization's overall
development goals.
As a highly motivated and results-oriented
individual, I am committed to delivering
high-quality work and achieving
measurable results. I have excellent
communication skills, both written and
verbal, and can effectively communicate
the impact of non-profit organizations to
diverse audiences.
Thank you for considering my application. I
am confident that I can make a valuable
contribution to your organization and I look
forward to discussing my qualifications
with you."
