Project Timeline
Concept Development
Taking the identified goals, budget, and solution from the Power Hour Think Session with our Premier member, this phase concludes with an internal decision to ensure the concept is aligned to a strategy, and we should proceed with development work.
Pre-Proposal
We use a variety of ways to explore and refine concepts, with the help of organizations in the field. Regardless of the approach, we remain committed to understanding the perspective of others, in order to further shape the proposed body of work. This phase ends with the decision to solicit a grant or contract proposal.
Direct solicitation. When we know that an organization is well-suited to perform
the work, we directly solicit an early phase concept memo or proposal.
Discussion. In some cases, we invite one or more organizations to discuss the
concept with us and explore their interest and their capacity to undertake the
work. If the organization has the expertise, capacity, and interest, we will invite
them to submit a concept memo or proposal.
Request for proposal (RFP): When we want to broaden our network or fund
multiple organizations for a project, we may issue an RFP.
Private RFPs are directed to specific Elite Network organizations.
Signed Proposal
We present a proposal and a finalized budget. A project manager reviews with the premier member to integrate recommended changes. Before funded activities can commence, Hidden Icon and the partner organizations sign an agreement that includes intended results, targets, milestones or reporting deliverables, and a payment schedule.
Management and Close
During the life of a project, the project manager and premier member and elite partners discuss how they will work together and keep in close communication to understand progress and challenges of ongoing work. By maintaining quality interactions and clear and consistent communication, they are able to share feedback early and often. Occasionally a project manager or foundation staff member will participate on advisory committees, and occasionally take a seat on the board of the organization. At the end of the project, the grantee or partner will work with the program officer to submit a final report that summarizes the results achieved and lessons learned.
