Request for Proposal - Strategic Planning
The Regina Folk Festival is currently accepting proposals for a consulting firm to assist in the creation of a new Strategic Plan. The full Request for Proposal (RFP) can be found by clicking here.
Our current strategic plan is expiring at the end of 2021. The world has changed a lot since our last plan was developed, but also, RFF has changed a lot since the last plan was written. New organizational structure and new leadership have been added since the last plan was developed.
The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to solicit proposals from various qualified organizations and conduct a fair and extensive evaluation based on criteria listed herein. The RFF will select the candidate who we feel will best satisfy the roles outlined below, all while reflecting the values of the Regina Folk Festival.
The Regina Folk Festival Inc. is a non-profit charitable organization. Founded in 1969, we are the producers of the longest running music festival in Western Canada, the Regina Folk Festival, held each year in Victoria Park and the downtown plaza in early August. Guided by its Board of Directors, staff, contracts of service, and over 650 volunteers host both the annual RFF and a year-round concert and workshop series.
Our festival engages community members from all walks of life as both audience members and/or volunteers. The diversity of the audience members for both our ticketed Mainstage and our free daytime programming is remarkable. The ticketed Festival Mainstage includes a VIP/artists’ hospitality tent and backstage area, Merchandise Tent, and Beer Gardens. The RFF is open for free during the day, and programs 4 stages, a Children’s Area, Arts Market, International Food Court, and Daytime Beer Gardens. The RFF also holds an After Party each night of the Festival. As such, the Festival is a much anticipated and immense celebration of music and community.
The RFF contributes culturally and economically to the city of Regina and the province of Saskatchewan. Giving great footing to this work is the belief that live performance:
• is an important form of communication
• joins us together
• creates an individual and collective voice
• is part of the cultural mosaic of Regina and Saskatchewan
• is a forum for positive artistic, social and cultural development
The Regina Folk Festival does not tolerate harassment of any kind and supports positive music and art spaces for people to participate in as their true, whole selves.
Please send all proposals to our Executive Director, Josh Haugerud.
