DC Public Library Foundation utilizes two separate applications to pay vendors:
Ramp Credit Card - to pay via credit card. Typical expenditures are for online items, such as program materials. All credit card transactions must be pre-approved and supported by appropriate documentation. You must have a Ramp account to make a purchase. If you do not have a Ramp account, please contact the Foundation.
BILL.com - to pay vendors via checks / EFT. Typical expenditures utilizing BILL are for services, to pay vendor invoices, or for vendors who do not accept credit cards.
Contracts - A contract is required whenever the Foundation is engaging a vendor to provide services, produce an event, or deliver any product that is not a simple online purchase. Work may not begin, and no costs may be incurred or promised, until a fully executed contract is in place. Please review this timeline to ensure you are compliant with DCPLF’s guidelines.
