THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Helper is proposing to merge the Main Street Board and Helper Arts Alliance Festival Board into a new, independent umbrella nonprofit that partners with the city. The new board would handle grants, shared funding, marketing, volunteer coordination, business support, and a centralized website and information hub for events. This is still conceptual, with steps outlined to rename/register the festival board, adopt Main Street America’s mission, and recruit members, creating upcoming needs around nonprofit setup, web/communications, grant training, and event support tools.
Presentation mentions training grant writers and board members, website consolidation, and ongoing presence at council meetings; no specific vendors or budgets are named.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Helper issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Helper's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of Helper before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
