Managing the logistics of a fundraising campaign for the entire NIH involves intricate logistics and knowledge of the art of charitable fundraising, alongside an adept understanding of NIH process, personal and working environment.

The Recreation and Welfare Association Incorporated is uniquely qualified for this contract and has a long history of conducting these activities for NIH. With out this knowledge a delay in completing all requirements for the campaign and the success of the program could be jeopardy. Recreation and Welfare Association Incorporated has performed this task for other institutes at the NIH and is uniquely qualified to perform this service for NCI. Recreation and Welfare Association Inc. has previous experience coordinating the complexities of the requirements of the NIH CFC such as overall agenda, security, transportation, parking, supplies, safety, charities, entertainment, as well as staff and volunteer coordination for the events. It is necessary that the vendor be able to meet and supply all of the above requirements not any one individual requirement. The Recreation and Welfare Association Inc. has a unique relationship with the NIH in that they are already situated to establish liaisons with property management, security, and other personnel. Furthermore, this organization is the employees’ organization in the sense that it organizes events and activities in other areas for employees, and the organization is easily recognized by all employees at NIH – this enables events to be planned quickly and receive outstanding attendance as required for the CFC campaign.
