Consultant needed for focus group design and facilitation
- This RFP has a location requirement.
The organization is an environmental communications nonprofit organization based in Chicago. Biodiversity Project researches, designs, implements and evaluates communication and education strategies that inspire individuals, civic institutions and elected and appointed leaders to make the connection between their values and environmental causes.
One of our current projects includes using focus groups to better understand our target audience and to test some messages. Because of our in-depth knowledge about the issues and the organization, we believe we are too biased at this point to effectively lead the focus groups. We would also like to work with the chosen consultant on creating the appropriate phrasing for questions, and the appropriate approach to each issue.
