Financial Literacy FY25

The Wicomico Partnership for Families and Children (WPFC), at the direction of the Wicomico Local Management Board (LMB) in Maryland, is seeking proposals for a Financial Literacy program to support the long-term success of middle and high school aged youth living in poverty in Wicomico County. The program aims to identify these youth, provide them with access to financial literacy education, and ensure they receive proper resources. The RFP provides guidance for the development and submission of proposals, and requires applicants to demonstrate evidence-based practices, address racial equity and trauma-informed approaches, and provide detailed program design, budgets, and performance projections. A pre-proposal bidders conference is scheduled for June 13, 2024, and sealed proposals are due by June 27, 2024 at 3:00 pm. The contract term will be for the period of July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.

The RFP makes available an estimated $90,000 in funding for this program. Eligible applicants include government agencies, private non-profit organizations, private for-profit businesses, and educational entities. Minority vendors are encouraged to compete for the award of this solicitation. The proposal evaluation will focus on the applicant's infrastructure, program design, and ability to meet performance requirements. The RFP does not provide details on any set-asides, incumbents, or other salient financial information.
