Solidarity Centered Request for Proposal (RFP) Process
In partnership with Population Works Africa
How can a solidarity lens disrupt and reimagine your giving process?
Solidarity as a lens, encompasses your institutional commitment to accelerating the economic and professional advancement of an inclusive, supportive, and equitable Request for Proposal (RFP) process that would be developed to include tenants of solidarity as organizing principles.
What could a solidarity centered RFP process look like in practice?
This RFP approach could help your Foundation address access barriers to entry which have kept non-traditional grantees from participation. Such access barriers sometimes include:
Mother tongue and comfort speaking/writing in English
Relationships (or lack thereof) within the Foundation
Understanding (or misunderstanding) of the RFP process
Ability to complete the application within strict timelines
Technological resources available to submit applications
To address these barriers to entry, we suggest a multilayered RFP process to be developed over 6-8 months.
