Request For Proposal (RFP) 2018.1 - Prevention/Early Intervention - Synopsis
The RAP Foundation implemented its five-year Strategic Plan on July 1, 2014. One component of the Plan is a change in the Grant Process. Previously, the application process was open
year-round. The Board of Directors, in an attempt to focus funding and ensure accountability, decided that an RFP process will be more effective and proactive.
Another change called for in the Strategic Plan is a provisional emphasis on one of the three focus areas of RAP’s Mission: Health, Mental Health, and Juvenile Intervention. On the initial RFP cycle through to this current RFP cycle, Mental Health—specifically Prevention/Early Intervention—is given top priority.
Listening Groups/Forums held by RAP staff in 2014, 2016 and 2018 as well as research studies, reports, data, and statistics helped define the Mental Health priorities, with Prevention/Early Intervention being a key focus area.
