RFP

If you are considered a part of Greater Washington, your operating budget is under $3m, and you are a 501c3, you may be eligible to apply. The new RFP appears on this site on January 1; applications are due in late February (click the RFP link above for details); the review process occurs in March and April; selections are announced in May; and the Catalogue is mailed to donors in November.

Because we do not merely list organizations but rather profile them, and because we receive many more applications than we have spaces, the process is a competitive one. We look for excellence, cost-effectiveness, innovation, and appeal to donors. You can preview the Request for Proposals by clicking the RFP link above. The most up-to-date version of the online application becomes available each year on January 1. If you have missed the deadline (late February each year), please do not submit an application now; check back for the new RFP in the following January!
