Participatory Budgeting Program - Requests for Proposals Round 2 Re-Post: Participatory Budgeting Initiatives

***Complete RFP documents may be found in the attached documents***

The City of Grand Rapids is re-posting this RFP opportunity; it was initially posted on June 2, 2023 with no submitted responses received.

Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a democratic process in which community members directly decide how to spend part of a public budget. PB gives people real power to make real decisions over real money.
Based on the voting results and project rankings using a ranked-choice voting methodology, the PBGR Steering Committee formally adopted twelve projects. This request for proposals is in response to three of these twelve projects which would address the “public health and economic impacts” as defined in the ARPA methodology: In-Home Water Filter Distribution and Installation Initiaitive, Youth and Affordable Housing Support Initiative, and Cleaning Up Grand Rapids Initiative
