Colleagues describe her as "I am very pleased to have the opportunity to write this letter of recommendation for Laura Cappetto and her numerous accomplishments as a development intern for Cleveland Play House (CPH) during the spring of 2012. As the development services associate for Cleveland Play House I had the distinct pleasure of working with and overseeing Laura on a variety of development initiatives for the three months she interned at our organization. When Laura joined us, she did not have any experience in development or a nonprofit organization, but she quickly exceeded our expectations by her willingness to learn and the quality of work she produced. Laura’s work has been a tremendous asset to our department and has provided us with a solid base of research on foundation prospects that we hope to pursue in the future. As an English and Communications Studies major, Laura expressed an early interest in the field of grant writing while interning with CPH. This semester, she had the chance to work alongside our institutional giving director, who is responsible for the majority of the grant writing, and research foundations, write executive summaries and write a portion of a major proposal to a foundation. Laura also had the opportunity to proofread a number of print materials and proposals as well and her attention to detail and focus on consistency is impressive. She often found errors that were overlooked. Additionally, Laura is a quiet intellect, demonstrated through genuine interest, natural curiosity, and her thoughtful and professional approach to everything she undertakes. Laura is extremely inquisitive and is always looking or asking for more information on both the structure of our company and staff member’s roles within it. She has a genuine interest in learning and discovering more about different career paths. I therefore strongly recommend Laura for your organization. She will, without question, be a tremendous asset to any organization with which she is affiliated."
