Request for Proposals (RFPs)

Student RFPs are based on the individual philanthropic missions of their Giving Accounts and developed in conjunction with rubrics for the evaluation of proposals. Sample RFPs:

  • Binghamton University (52KB)
  • Portland Community College (32 KB)
  • University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (80KB)
  • Pay it Forward-Sample RFP Letter (88 KB)
  • Pay it Forward-Sample RFP (92 KB)
  • Getting the Word Out

    Many classes collaborate with campus service centers, community foundations and United Way chapters to access nonprofit databases to promote the opportunity broadly. State Commissions for National and Community Service or other statewide service agencies would also be potential partners in spreading the word about the availability of grant funds.

    I have always had a drive to serve others and work for the common good. But I never fully realized that I could go beyond volunteerism--that my opinion and hard work could influence policy decisions. My views changed when I sat in the office of one of my legislators in Washington, DC."
