RFP: IT network and systems upgrade opportunity for nonprofits

As part of its Essential Goods Program, ReSOURCE is offering fellow local nonprofit agencies the opportunity to upgrade their computer network and operating systems. This initiative was set up to distribute computer server systems, installation, and support to local nonprofit agencies, who may have limited computer infrastructure.

ReSOURCE is now accepting 2015 proposals from nonprofit agencies with IT and computer networking development needs that they cannot otherwise fund. ReSOURCE will select one or two projects where the need for expanded networking and information technology capacity match our capabilities and hardware availability, and will provide awards of $5,000‐$10,000 worth of hardware and installation and setup service. A total of $15,000 worth of hardware and installation service will be provided through this program.

View the RFP on the ReSOURCE website: http://www.resourcevt.org/node/449 Interested non‐profits should send a proposal in the form of short letter (up to two pages) answering the questions on the following page by May 15, 2015. Selections will be made by June 1. Installations and service work are expected to be completed between June and December 2015.

ReSOURCE’s Essential Goods Program relieves poverty by making essential goods available to low income families, people in crisis, blind and visually impaired individuals, victims of disaster, and to sister nonprofit agencies. Other services that support the organization’s poverty relief program include affordable housing construction and weatherization services.
