Non-Profit Website Redesign RFP
- This RFP has a location requirement.
- This RFP was uploaded by the owner.
The website, first built eight years ago, is in need of a brand new look - utilizing new design, technology, and content capability. The site must provide more modernized functionality and streamlined web maintenance. In addition, updated technology should allow us to better track and connect with users.
The Food Trust, a nonprofit founded in 1992, started out by conducting nutrition education classes for inner-city children at Reading Terminal Market, the century-old farmers' market located in the center of Philadelphia. After the Trust opened its first farmers' market at Tasker Homes, a public housing development in the Grays Ferry neighborhood of Philadelphia, the organization began working with communities to develop lasting and stable sources of affordable foods.
The Food Trust will be entering its 20th year in 2012, and since then, the organization has evolved significantly. As the stature of The Food Trust continues to grow nationally, with the accompanying increase in attention from prospective donors, the website is ever more important. The website, first built eight years ago, is in need of a brand new look - utilizing new design, technology, and content capability. The site must provide more modernized functionality and streamlined web maintenance. In addition, updated technology should allow us to better track and connect with users.
The new design will also allow us to reconsider the growing audience which turns to our website for information on The Food Trust in its position as a thought-leader in the field as well as for specific information (farmers' markets, Night Market, etc.). The Food Trust website will have two basic audiences: foundations, funders and other nonprofits; and consumers and individual donors.
One critical component that the new site must have is a secure and state-of-the-art e-commerce system where we can sell tickets to events and merchandise, as well as accept donations, including credit cards and PayPal. Visitors to any of the sites must be able to navigate easily to make a donation at any point, and must be consistent with the brands we've already established.
All proposals are to be submitted no later than Friday, December 23, 2011. Any proposals received after the due date will not be considered. Digital copies of proposals are to be submitted via email by this date to Communications Associate Erin Mulrooney at emulrooney@thefoodtrust.org.
Organizations should visit www.thefoodtrust.org and related web properties and familiarize themselves with The Food Trust and its web presence, complete the required information and send it, via email, to emulrooney@thefoodtrust.org. Submissions should not contain confidential information. The Food Trust will review each RFP response and may contact an organization for more information, if necessary. If The Food Trust accepts an application, the organization will be contacted to inform them that the application has been accepted. Final decisions for all application decisions are at the sole discretion of The Food Trust. Decisions are expected to be made in January.
I will be the single point of contact for all inquiries and correspondences.
I thank you for your time, effort, and interest in our Website Redesign project.
Please note - only Philadelphia-area agencies will be considered.
