Here is an example of how I authored a comprehensive letter of interest to introduce Armstrong Community Music School to a private foundation and request support for general operating expenses in the absence of a formal grant application process. The letter weaves organizational history, community impact, and trauma-informed programming with a credible financial and operational overview, while positioning the organization as a trusted community partner during the COVID-19 pandemic. This piece demonstrates relationship-based fundraising, persuasive storytelling, and the ability to advance institutional support through customized, non-templated donor communications.
Outcome: The school received this grant from the private foundation.
