Nurture NC (NNC) is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) to understand the landscape of strategic communications partners for North Carolina. As an emerging non-profit, NNC views this RFP as a tool to identify partnerships that will strengthen the organization’s public presence, raise awareness of maternal and infant health, align messaging across channels and audiences, and support communications strategies that advance NNC’s mission and strategic priorities. This engagement is intended to help grow NNC’s team with the expertise and operational capacity to build a unified brand voice, strengthen media relationships, prepare for large media campaigns, deepen digital and community engagement, and prepare targeted communications for funder, partner, and public-facing opportunities.
