*Sample Housing Company
San Francisco, CA
Position: Senior Program Officer
February 10, 2022
I am writing to express my interest in the Senior Program Officer at *Sample Housing Company as advertised on your website. It is an honor to be a candidate to work for an organization that’s mission is fighting poverty and keeping hope everyone will have the opportunity to prosper. I speak this language in my everyday life.
Having lived in San Francisco and the nearby cities since 1992, I have seen the chronic homelessness problem. I would like to have a job that focuses on finding solutions to this crisis. Additionally, my twelve years of experience in health care Project Management and Stewardship/Donor Relations roles uniquely qualify me for the Senior Program Officer position.
During my career, I have progressively gained invaluable knowledge navigating a complex and dynamic organization with a can-do attitude. I have worked on the end of thanking donors. My favorite parts of the job are seeing the results of donor contributions, whether that be a new piece of equipment, new program, or sustaining an existing program, keeping donor intent by ensuring donations are used as requested, and communicating with donors about the impact of their generosity.
I am ready to bring my skills to your community. This is an organization I would feel proud to be a part of because I share similar values and look forward to making lives better for everyone.
Sincerely,
*Mallory Smith
