CTM Fundraising Consultant

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Fundraising Consultant for Children Trust Michigan (CTM). The selected consultant will provide comprehensive fundraising consultation services, including strategic planning, donor cultivation, and grant writing assistance. Key objectives include increasing CTM's fundraising capacity and sustainability. Qualified bidders must demonstrate significant experience in nonprofit fundraising, a proven track record of success, and a detailed, data-driven approach. Evaluation criteria focus on the consultant's qualifications, proposed methodology, and pricing. The RFP specifies a contract term of 3 years, with the option to renew for up to two additional one-year periods. The proposal deadline is September 13, 2024, and MDHHS plans to award the contract on December 18, 2024.

The RFP does not include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. MDHHS reserves the right to negotiate with bidders and award multiple contracts. The RFP does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify a budget range for the contract. Bidders must accept the State's contract terms unless they submit proposed changes with appropriate justification, and the RFP includes federal contracting provisions for procurements using federal funds.
