Type Contract
Salary $50,000 / Project-based
Four-day Week No
GSEMA seeks an experienced and qualified technology consultant or firm to conduct a comprehensive assessment of our current technology systems, including infrastructure, security, core applications, software stack, and related business processes; and provide an actionable roadmap to improve reliability, security, and alignment with our strategic goals. This RFP initiates the Assessment phase of our multi-year strategic roadmap. This foundational work is critical, as it will define the requirements and success metrics for our subsequent phases: Systems Selection (Phase II) and Implementation (Phase III).
The primary goal of the assessment is to identify, prioritize, and design a simplified, streamlined, and affordable future technology state that supports our distributed volunteer and staff network, as well as complex member data needs. This includes inventory of all current systems, existing hardware, software licenses, data storage locations, and current policies (e.g., data sharing agreements with vendors and partners, security protocols, user provisioning) as well as benchmarking current system maturity ratings on a scorecard.
Key Objectives
Consolidation: Identify redundant software and data silos, recommending a consolidated set of core systems (ideally 3-5 platforms) for all key functions, especially the Volunteer/Member life cycle, Human Resources, and Accounting, Budgeting and People software. Salesforce-Membership and program
Efficiency: Propose integrated workflows and automation opportunities to reduce manual data entry and administrative overhead for staff and, critically, for our volunteer leaders.
Data Integrity: Design a unified data structure to ensure consistent tracking of youth enrollment, finance and HR performance, membership renewal, volunteer compliance, program outcome and financial health metrics.
Scalability: Recommend solutions that can cost-effectively scale with our large, fluctuating membership and evolving program needs over the next 3–5 years.
Cost-Effectiveness: Provide recommendations that minimize licensing fees and implementation costs while leveraging non-profit discounts and minimizing technical debt.
