The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) invites proposals from qualified consultants to assess ARC’s current grant performance measurement system and conduct a scan of performance measurement practices at other grantmaking organizations. The scope of work includes input from ARC staff and stakeholders, selection of model grantmaking organizations whose grant management practices exemplify best practices, and a scan of performance measurement practices at those organizations. The selected contractor will work closely with ARC to shape this effort over the course of a nine-month period beginning May 1, 2020 and concluding January 31, 2021. Proposals will be evaluated on contractors’ qualifications, expertise, track record, work samples, and cost-effectiveness.
