Description

The New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports seeks information about organizational development training for small, grassroots nonprofits working in the addictions or addictions-adjacent community. The proposed program would build their capacity to apply for and successfully implement State contracts, through regional cohorts, hybrid training, readiness assessments, and post-training technical assistance. The RFI requests information about existing training and experience, capacity to serve participants, feasibility, and approximate costs; a fully developed proposal is not requested. This is for planning purposes only and is not a solicitation for bids or proposals, and no contract or funding award will result from it.
