CIR Marketing Service Provider Request for Proposals

To fully establish the CIR program, we need a marketing strategy and plan utilizing information about the existing civil legal aid network. The marketing plan is about getting information about the CIR disseminated to client-eligible community members so they know about this important resource. With that in mind, we recently released a Marketing Request for Proposals. The Foundation is seeking an external marketing service provider that can address the marketing, branding, and advertising of the Coordinated Intake and Referral solution for the District of Columbia. Proposals are due by September 1, and we will make a final selection in late October, with work set to begin on November 1. You can read the full RFP here. Please share with a Marketing Service Provider interested in submitting a bid.
