A.Project Overview
Community Catalyst is a national organization dedicated to building the power of
people to create a health system rooted in race equity and health justice and a
society where health is a right for all. Through a mix of rigorous policy analysis and
research, multi-state advocacy campaigns, strategic communications, organizing,
coalition building, and provision of consulting services to clients such as the federal
government, state agencies, hospital systems, and health plans in areas such as
community engagement, we work towards change grounded in community leadership.
We're an experienced, trusted partner to organizations across the country, a change
agent to policymakers at the local, state, and national level, and both adversary and
collaborator to health systems in our efforts to advance health justice. Read about our
2021-2025 strategic plan here.
Community Catalyst seeks an experienced business development consultant to
explore its potential as a recipient of federal government funding (grants,
cooperative agreements, and contracts). We currently manage two federal
cooperative agreements with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and
Administration for Community Living totaling more than $40 million and have served as
a subcontractor on multiple closed and active federal contracts with agencies such as
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). These projects ultimately help us
translate community voice and equity-centered research into policy that advances
health justice. The consultant will support Community Catalyst to develop a full
understanding of the federal funding landscape as well as our unique value proposition
within that landscape.
B. Project Objectives
1. Federal Funding Landscape Assessment: Conduct a comprehensive analysis of
potential federal funding opportunities relevant to Community Catalysts mission,
vision, and strategic initiatives and leverages our unique value proposition. This
should include a market analysis, risk assessment, and any potential for conflicts
of interest.
2. Capacity Building Recommendations & Timeline: Review internal resources,
staffing, expertise, systems, and processes to identify gaps and investments
required to successfully bid on and manage government awards.
3. Decision-Making Framework: Develop a framework for Community Catalysts
internal use in determining which federal funding opportunities to pursue.
C. Scope of Work
- Conduct a comprehensive review of the potential scale of opportunity for
federal awards (grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, etc.) at Community
Catalyst. This will include reviewing our current and past government awards
and gaining familiarity with our mission, strategic initiatives, programs, and
capacity.
- Research federal funding agencies, programs, and upcoming and current
opportunities to identify those that align with Community Catalysts mission,
vision, strategic initiatives, programs, current and potential consulting service
offering, and organizational capacity. Identify relevant market trends and
evaluate the impact of a potential change in federal administration.
- Assess Community Catalysts current competitiveness for federal funding and
articulate our unique value proposition and competitive advantage as both a
prime and sub. Benchmark Community Catalyst among similar nonprofit
organizations in the competitive landscape of federal funding. Review internal
capabilities and capacity for growth within the organization.
- Make recommendations for changes to and investments in organizational
capacity, resources, processes, and infrastructure required to effectively bid
on and manage federal grants, co-operative agreements, and contracts,
including our capacity to meet compliance requirements. This should include a
timeline and identify benchmarks for carrying out these recommendations.
- Decision-Making Framework: Develop a framework for Community Catalysts
internal use in determining which federal funding opportunities to pursue.
D. Deliverables
During the project period, the consultant will create and present a detailed report that answers the following guiding questions:
- What is the scale of government funding opportunity available to Community
Catalyst? Provide a list of live and upcoming opportunities as well as key federal agencies and their relevant programs, including critical information such as key dates, funding duration, federal contacts, bidding type, procurement vehicles, single or multiple award contracts, information on current contract holders, and funding levels. This will also include insights on which mechanisms and partnering strategies make the most sense for Community Catalyst based on an analysis of our existing capacity and potential to apply for and manage federal awards.
- What is Community Catalysts unique value proposition in the government funding landscape?How do we compare to peer organizations? What is our unique value proposition and competitive advantage as a health advocacy organization?
- What are the capacities we need to build in order to competitively bid on and manage government awards? What are our current gaps? What organizational resources (staffing, systems, etc.) do we need to support that effort? Propose a timeline for implementing these recommendations with measurable benchmarks of similar nonprofits to project potential growth. Throughout the project period, we intend to keep channels of communication open for ongoing thought partnership and encourage regular updates to the internal project team via email or video conference.
Final Presentation: A presentation to senior Community Catalyst leadership to summarize findings and recommendations.
