DASNY (Dormitory Authority - State of New York )’s Post

Hey, fam! I have great news! 🔥 The Department of General Services (DGS) has released an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the State of California Community Outreach and Education Services Master Service Agreement (MSA). DGS and OCPSC have been collaborating on this MSA since the fall of 2022, and once executed will create the state’s first MSA specifically for community-based nonprofits. This opportunity is one way the State will look to partner with community-based nonprofit organizations in the coming years. OCPSC encourages interested parties to submit a bid.📄 This MSA will be a multiple-award agreement that will create a list of pre-approved community-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status that California state and local governmental agencies can contract with on outreach and engagement projects. The goal of the MSA is to create contracting efficiencies for the state and nonprofits when partnering. Any community-based nonprofit is encouraged to submit a bid. The IFB event package can be found here: https://buff.ly/3yG0IMV Go for it! #OCPSC #Funding #Nonprofits #CBO #CallForBids

A grant tip for emerging nonprofit leaders and fundraisers: Before applying for funding, make sure you understand the manner in which you would receive the funds. For some grants, especially public funds, you will not get funding up front but Instead be reimbursed for your expenses. So, if your nonprofit has a $200,000 budget and minimal reserves, it may be very difficult to execute on a $500,000 grant and still meet payroll and essential expenses. Unfortunately most grants will not cover interest on loans or other ways that you could get this cash up front. This is another reason why grant readiness activities and analyses are so important - it’s much easier to say no to an opportunity before you apply. Things can become incredibly difficult if you are given an award and realize you can’t execute on it only after it has already been named yours.

Grants are a critical aspect of nonprofit fundraising, offering a unique avenue for financial support. These funds come from various sources, including government agencies, foundations, and private donors. Grants provide a stable and often substantial source of income, allowing nonprofits to plan and execute long-term projects and initiatives.
