Digital Marketing RFP Issued By Holocaust Memorial Museum

A living memorial to the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (hereafter referred to as “USHMM” or “Museum”) inspires citizens and leaders worldwide to confront hatred, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity. As an independent establishment of the U.S. Government with gift acceptance authority, federal support guarantees the Museum’s permanence, and its far-reaching educational programs and global impact are made possible by donors, members, educators, universities, leaders in governments and the public, just to name a few.

USHMM’s efforts to expand diversify, and more effectively engage audiences, particularly younger audiences, are critical to securing the permanent relevance of the Holocaust as it recedes further in time. Trends seen in the nonprofit space show that digital media provide the most affordable, accessible and scalable avenues for audience diversification and growth — with even greater reliance on USHMM’s email and web communications now due to its digital pivot in response to the COVID-environment.

In the immediate term, we also need to ensure a regularly occurring and reconcilable data transfer between offline systems and other digital systems in our ecosystem used to support online event registration, constituent management, digital fundraising and processing, cross-platform analytics and data lakes/repositories. This will require the setup of two distinct functional architectures: The Digital Marketing Platform operations to begin immediate integration with current systems and abilities to work within other industry platforms the Museum may utilize at a later period.
