STEPPING STONE STRATEGIC PLAN RFPRequest for Proposals No.: RFP 0620.25Issued: October 21, 2025Submission Deadline: December 5, 2025Stepping Stone is seeking proposals from qualified consultants or firms to facilitate the development of a comprehensive strategic plan that will guide our organization over the next 3-5 years. &nbsp;The selected consultant will work closely with Stepping Stone leadership, staff, stakeholders, and the community to develop a strategic vision, priorities, and an implementation roadmap.WHO ARE WEStepping Stone is an innovative grassroots organization dedicated to ending homelessness in Guelph. Originally known as the Drop In Centre, Stepping Stone was founded in 1983 by a local nun, Sister Christine Leyser, to address a need for support, food and accommodation for those affected by homelessness. An emerging need for emergency overnight shelter led to the opening of Stepping Stone in 1986 in partnership with the County of Wellington.&nbsp;Although the Drop In Centre and the Stepping Stone addressed a critical need for emergency shelter, there was a growing recognition over the ensuing years that without an increase in permanent housing, homelessness would continue to grow. Consequently, in 2021 the Drop In Centre restructured under the name Stepping Stone and shifted its primary focus from providing emergency shelter services, to securing and providing permanent housing for those experiencing homelessness. A significant milestone in realizing this new mission was the opening of Grace Gardens in August 2023. With the assistance of the Federal Government and the County of Wellington, Stepping Stone purchased and renovated a local motel, transforming it into 32 permanent supportive housing units, now collectively known as Grace Gardens.&nbsp;Stepping Stone has grown rapidly over the past five years and now provides a broad array of services including outreach for those unwilling or unable to engage with the health and social service system; emergency overnight shelter; preventative and ongoing support for those requiring assistance to maintain their housing; and the provision of permanent housing through facilities such as Grace Gardens.&nbsp;The Board and Staff have shown adaptability, resilience, and dedication over the past few years of rapid expansion and are strongly committed to finding and applying innovative and creative solutions to overcoming homelessness. A detailed description of Stepping Stone’s services is available at&nbsp; <a href="https://steppingstonegw.com" target="_blank">https://steppingstonegw.com</a>.About the NeedStepping Stone has grown significantly over the past five years and is transitioning from a small grassroots organization to one with increased administrative needs, greater organizational accountability, and higher service expectations from funders, community partners and those accessing service.
