Request for Proposals: Research & Evaluation (R&E) Communications Consultant

Remote (Westlake Village, CA)

Conrad N. Hilton Foundation

Date Posted: 5/29/2026

Purpose

The Foundation’s initiatives have invested significantly in research and evaluation (R&E) during S25. SLED and the Communications department aligned on the need for a systematic approach to communicating cross-learning—externally to the field and partners and internally across initiatives—including a thematic approach, a phased pilot structure, and clarified roles and processes.

Objectives

1. Deliver a clear, audience-differentiated SLED R&E communications strategy, including goals, audiences, positioning, thematic focus, and channel approach.

2. Define 4–5 cross-cutting themes for SLED to disseminate over the next 12–18 months. Design an implementable operating model with intake-to-publication workflow, governance and approvals, roles and responsibilities, and decision rules for communication.

3. Provide practical tools, such as templates, briefs, and tagging taxonomy guidance, to enable consistent execution and reduce workload for SLED and Communications teams.

4. Establish a 2026 pilot operating approach with 2–3 themes to validate the workflow and refine for scaling beginning in 2027.

Scope of Work

A. Discovery and Alignment

• Review existing materials (e.g., R&E tracker structure, representative R&E products, current learning site structure) and synthesize implications for communications.

• Conduct stakeholder interviews / working discussions with SLED, the Communications department, and initiatives to confirm intent, constraints, and decision-makers.

• Facilitate a working session to answer key design questions (priority audiences, desired audience actions, criteria for what merits external comms, and how internal learning comms fits).

• Document agreed upon assumptions, open questions, and decisions needed to proceed.

B. Strategy Development

SLED

• Develop an audience map (primary/secondary audiences) and articulate intended audience actions (e.g., adopt a practice, share evidence, inform policy, apply learning).

• Define SLED’s R&E communications positioning and narrative frame (what SLED will be known for in evidence/learning dissemination).

• Identify and describe 4–5 cross-cutting themes and how each theme will be communicated (core message, proof points, audiences, best-fit channels).

• Recommend a structure and internal process for a Comms Resource Hub that houses qualitative and quantitative assets—such as statistics, quotes, case studies, and key findings—to support efficient storytelling.

Communications Department

• Recommend channels, digital platforms, media, events, and content formats by audience and objective (with lightweight guidance on cadence and sequencing).

• Translate strategy into a brief “playbook” that staff can use without ongoing consultant support.

C. Workflow, Governance, and Decision Rules

• Develop a thematic pipeline management approach that enables SLED to plan, prioritize, and manage communications across related bodies of work.

• Define intake expectations and lead times (e.g., when and how Learning and Evaluation Officers (LEOs) flag upcoming reports; target lead time such as ~60 days prior to expected report receipt).

• Create decision rules to triage products into comms pathways (e.g., full brief vs short summary vs internal-only vs no comms), including minimum quality/utility thresholds.

• Propose a governance and approvals model (who reviews what, in what order, and turnaround time targets), including cross-initiative coordination where needed.

• Define a recurring cadence for planning and prioritization (e.g., monthly pipeline review) and how decisions will be made.

D. Tools, Templates, and Infrastructure Alignment

• Provide recommendations for a learning site structure that supports thematic navigation and timely publication (not purely archival), including where SLED/Initiative “point of view” content lives.

• Develop a toolkit of templates: Create practical tools—such as content briefs and “so what” synthesis outlines and publication priority checklist. Products to be developed using existing Airtable and other existing Foundation tools.

• Provide recommended taxonomy and tagging guidance: Establish a system for categorizing and tagging R&E products by theme, including CNHF strategic communications framework, which helps organize the tracker and supports the communications pipeline.

• Implement initial taxonomy coding of existing R&E resources

• Define minimum metadata standards for each R&E product to enable triage and reuse (e.g., topic/theme tags, audience, sector, key takeaways, limitations, publishability).

• Identify core metrics for tracking progress toward goal of increased access to and dissemination of research and evaluation products.

E. Pilot Operating Model (Lightweight)

• Support selection of 2–3 pilot themes for 2026 based on what is already available and what is in the pipeline.

• Develop a lightweight editorial approach (key messages, priority audiences, recommended outputs by type, and a realistic cadence) for each pilot theme.

• Run the workflow end-to-end to validate decision rules, timing, and approvals (focus is on process proofing for 1 fully implemented pilot theme).

• Facilitate a retrospective with SLED and the Communications department and refine the strategy playbook and workflow artifacts for scale.

Deliverables

1. Discovery readout: stakeholder synthesis, key decisions, and constraints. SLED R&E communications strategy deck or memo: audiences, objectives, positioning/narrative, thematic framework (4–5 themes), and channel/format recommendations.

2. Theme one-pagers (4–5): for each theme—core message, target audiences, proof points, example assets, and recommended distribution approach.

3. Operating model package: workflow map, governance/approvals model, decision rules, and meeting cadence.

4. RACI and ways-of-working: roles across SLED, the Communications department, and Initiative teams; handoffs and turnaround targets.

5. Templates/toolkit: intake form, content brief template, “so what” synthesis outline,

   review checklist, and post-publication tracking fields.

6. Socialization sessions: facilitation of 3 interactive sessions to familiarize program department staff, including Initiatives, with relevant workflows (e.g., research production to publication) and templates (e.g., intake form, “so what” synthesis outline)

7. Implementation support + closeout package: facilitation/coaching during early adoption (e.g., pipeline meetings and theme/editorial working sessions), light-touch refinements to workflow artifacts/templates based on early use, and a final retrospective + closeout readout (presentation and short memo with recommendations for scaling in 2027).

Success Measures

Success will be measured by completion of strategy outputs and evidence of adoption of the workflow and tools during the pilot period.

• Strategy completed and usable: Strategy memo/deck and theme one-pagers delivered, reviewed, and approved by SLED and the Communications department by the agreed milestone date.

• Clear decision rules adopted: Intake criteria and triage pathways documented and used in at least one live pipeline review.

• Workflow adoption: Standing cadence established (e.g., monthly pipeline review) with documented decisions, owners, and next steps for at least 3 consecutive cycles during the implementation support period (September–November 2026).

• Cycle-time improvements: Agree on clear time targets for each step (e.g., how many days it should take to go from first draft to final approval) and meet those targets for pilot items during the proof-of-concept period.

• Pipeline health: A defined share of upcoming R&E products is flagged in advance (per agreed lead time), tagged to themes, and have minimum metadata fields completed.

• Pilot validates operating model: 2–3 pilot themes run through the workflow with a retrospective that results in concrete process/tool refinements.

• Stakeholder satisfaction: SLED and the Communications department report that the strategy and tools reduce ambiguity and effort, and enable consistent publishing decisions.

Out of Scope (Unless Separately Contracted)

• High-volume content production (e.g., ongoing drafting of briefs, op-eds, web pages, or social copy). Note: The scope does include early implementation support (facilitation/coaching and refinement of workflow artifacts/templates), but not ongoing production work.

• Graphic design, web development, or publishing support (beyond recommendations and workflow alignment).

• Media relations, public relations (PR) pitching, or spokesperson training.

• Comprehensive analytics implementation (beyond defining recommended success measures and what to track).

Timeline (July 2026–January 2027)

• July 2026 (Discovery + decisions): Review existing materials; conduct stakeholder interviews; facilitate working session(s); confirm priority audiences, intended audience actions, decision-makers, constraints, and initial governance assumptions; deliver discovery readout.

• August 2026 (Strategy + themes, draft): Develop audience map and positioning/narrative frame; draft 4–5 cross-cutting themes and initial theme one-pagers; draft channel/format recommendations and strategy playbook (one-page).

• September 2026 (Operating model + toolkit, finalize): Map intake-to-publication workflow; finalize governance/approvals model, decision rules, cadence, and ways-of-working; produce workflow artifacts (RACI/SLAs) and templates/toolkit; confirm minimum metadata standards and tracker tagging guidance; provide learning site structure recommendations.

• October–December 2026 (Early implementation support): Support initial adoption of the operating model by facilitating up to 3 pipeline review sessions and up to 3 theme/editorial working sessions; coach SLED and the Communications department on applying decision rules, lead times, and templates; provide light-touch troubleshooting and refinements to workflow artifacts/templates based on early use (focus remains on implementation support rather than high-volume content production).

• January 2027 (Final review + closeout): Facilitate a final retrospective; deliver a short implementation learning memo (what worked, what needs adjustment, and recommendations for scaling in 2027); present final strategy + operating model package; complete handoff and closeout.

Focusing Philanthropy

Date Posted: 5/29/2026

OVERVIEW

• Are you a passionate, inspiring, persuasive writer who can master distinct tones of voice for multiple audiences?

• Do you have an eye for typography, color, and layout, and the ability to translate complex concepts and data into compelling visual storytelling?

• Are you excited about working on national and global social issues, including job training, healthcare access, educational opportunity, climate-smart agriculture, and refugee self-reliance?

• Are you analytical, detail-oriented, and capable of writing impact updates for evidence-driven, highly educated individuals?

• Are you energized by interacting with a wide range of people, from our nonprofit partners, Board members, and high-net-worth donors to New York Times journalists and staff?

• Do you want to help us profoundly transform the lives of millions of people?

ABOUT FOCUSING PHILANTHROPY

Focusing Philanthropy uses an investment model to identify, evaluate, and promote giving opportunities that materially improve the life trajectory of people living with significant unmet needs in the United States and around the world. Through a rigorous diligence and monitoring process, we select and partner with exemplary nonprofit organizations in areas including health, education, and livelihoods. We work closely with each partner to design fundraising campaigns and then engage donors. These services are provided free to both donors and nonprofit partners in an effort to scale interventions that work. Since 2012, Focusing Philanthropy has deployed more than $200 million, helping put over 28 million people on paths to better lives.

• Develop sufficient familiarity with nonprofit partner programs to create supporting materials that are accurate, motivating, and use the vocabulary that fits the intervention and population served.

• Apply messaging consistently across communications channels while adapting tone and framing for audiences ranging from high-net-worth to New York Times readers.

• Develop templates, style guidelines, and visual standards to ensure consistency across communications materials.

• Edit and proofread materials submitted by internal team members and nonprofit partners for public distribution.

Communications Campaign Management:

• Help manage and execute 12–16 annual fundraising and matching campaigns from planning through launch, implementation, reporting, and follow-up.

• Build communications timelines, workflows, calendars, and execution plans to ensure campaigns remain organized and on schedule.

• Gather and synthesize information from nonprofit partners, including program updates, impact metrics, photography, video, testimonials, and human-interest stories.

About the Museum

The Tenement Museum welcomes you into the homes of immigrants, migrants, and refugees and shares their stories to inspire connections between the past and present and to build a more inclusive and expansive American society. In our two historic tenements, visitors and K-12 students explore the homes of diverse families with roots all over the world, who lived in New York City between the 1860s and the 1980s. We offer interactive guided tours of our buildings and the iconic Lower East Side neighborhood.

The Museum welcomes more than 220,000 visitors annually and operates with a staff of 60 full-time and 60 part-time employees and a $13 million operating budget.
