Re­quest for proposal

TagLast edit: Jul 12, 2022, 6:37 PM by Leo

A request for proposal (RFP) is a written statement in which an organization solicits, usually through a bidding process, proposals from prospective suppliers by specifying the good or service that it intends to purchase.

RFPs have been contrasted with consultancies as two alternative models for how organizations in the effective altruism community can fund external projects.[1]
