Dear [Hiring manager's name],
Twelve zip codes and roughly 9,000 residents fall inside the reach of the outreach calendar I run at Bluebird Neighborhood Alliance, built from more than 30 health fairs, enrollment drives, and listening sessions a year. I'm looking for a program ready to turn that kind of reach into funded, sustained enrollment rather than one good afternoon per neighborhood.
That funding is not incidental to the outreach; 14 grant proposals I authored brought in $410,000 from 7 funders at a 57 percent award rate, which launched two new food access programs directly out of what residents told us at events. Pairing every event with a same-day sign-up station and multilingual follow-up calls grew program enrollment 38 percent, and I now manage 110 volunteers who contribute 3,800 service hours a year at an 82 percent year-over-year return rate.
Before Bluebird I ran door-to-door and clinic-based outreach for Harborlight Community Health Partners in Baltimore, where I built referral partnerships with 28 organizations connecting 850 families to housing, nutrition, and behavioral health services, and doubled the organization's newsletter list to 6,200 subscribers. I report quarterly reach, enrollment, and referral data to funders through Salesforce, and I trained 15 resident health ambassadors who reached blocks our paid staff couldn't cover consistently.
I'd welcome a conversation about which zip codes or funders [Nonprofit name] is prioritizing next, and I can share the grant calendar and event data behind these numbers whenever that's useful.
Sincerely,
Ethan Wright
