Maryland Charity Compaign

The State of Maryland is seeking proposals for a 5-year contract to provide technical assistance and support for the Maryland Charity Campaign (MCC), the state's workplace giving program that allows Maryland state employees and retirees to donate to eligible charities. The selected Contractor will be responsible for providing an electronic giving platform, training and marketing support, and financial management services. Key objectives include maximizing charitable contributions through the MCC. Proposals are due by January 16, 2024, and the contract term will begin on April 1, 2024. The Contractor will be reimbursed for actual expenses up to a percentage of the prior year's MCC contributions, as proposed in the Contractor's financial proposal.

There are no Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) subcontracting goals for this contract. The State will provide the necessary employee and retiree data files to the Contractor, who must comply with IT security and data protection requirements. The incumbent vendor information is not provided, and the funding for this contract comes from the Maryland Charity Campaign, but the specific amounts and sources are not detailed. There are no set-asides, and the proposed pricing is based on a percentage of the previous year's collected donations, with an estimated annual contribution not to exceed $2,000,000.
