13. How are the RFPs evaluated?This year, four RFP panels consisting of United Way board members and community representatives scored the RFPs. United Way staff do not participate in RFP scoring. All RFP panelists use the same scoring rubric which is posted along with the RFP instructions. How can my agency receive 100% of what we request? Typically no agencies get 100% of their requested dollars. This year, the maximum allocation was 65% and the average allocation was 60% of the requested dollars. Why does the RFP process change from year to year? Chenango United Way incorporates feedback each year to help improve the process and positive impact on the community. Feedback comes primarily from the agencies, RFP panelists and Chenango Partners Roundtable participants. Frequently Asked Questions
