Nonprofit cover letters that get read.

Editable Word letters for Executive Director, Development Director, and Program Officer roles — written for a search committee that spends ninety seconds on a first read. Generic letters read as performance. These read as someone who understands the mission and can be trusted with money and staff.

What’s inside

  • Three role-specific letters (ED, Development Director, Program Officer) in editable Word — not PDF
  • A one-page rubric drawn from what search committees actually read for
  • Two before/after examples with margin notes on what changed and why
  • A short guide on when a cover letter still matters and when it doesn't

You may not need this if: You already have a strong recent cover letter and just need light editing.
