RFI 26026 - Grassroots Organizational Development and State Contracting Readiness

Description: The New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports requests information about organizational-development training for small, grassroots nonprofits in the addictions or addictions-adjacent community, with the aim of building their capacity to apply for and implement State contracts. The proposed model would serve 30 organizations in six regional cohorts over 12 months through hybrid training, readiness assessments, and post-training technical assistance. This is an RFI for planning only, not a request for bids or proposals, and it states that no contract or funding award will result; responses are due December 4, 2026.
