Project Summary

Friends of the Wissahickon (FOW) seeks to retain an Instagram contractor to develop original content to engage and grow its 30,000+ followers on a month-to-month basis. Photographers residing locally around the Wissahickon Valley Park area with a well-established photo archive of the park are preferred.

The contractor will work with FOW to ensure that:

• • Content is developed, reviewed, and posted in a timely manner.
  • Photography and written content align with FOW’s mission and values.
  • Photography is seasonally appropriate and varies between the many natural and man-made aspects of Wissahickon Valley Park, including but not limited to:
  • Landscapes, tributaries, Creekside views, historic structures, flora, and fauna.
  • Written content highlights educational material pertaining to, but not limited to:
  • Wissahickon Valley Park, its flora and fauna, the Wissahickon watershed, FOW’s stewardship and projects, park history, and phenomena.
  • Engagement is optimized, and the content strategy is adjusted based on performance.
  • FOW and its partners’ upcoming events and campaigns are advertised in a timely manner.
  • Images and written content are created without the use of AI.

Deliverables

Each month, the contributor will provide:

• • Daily reposts of relevant stories in which FOW is tagged.
  • Three weekly Instagram grid-posts featuring:
  • Original photography of the Wissahickon Valley Park.

  • Two of the twelve monthly grid-posts will engage our advocacy goals, some of which will include:
    • Clean water
    • Accessibility
    • Parks funding
    • Environmental justice

Term and Termination

• • This agreement is planned to begin on May 1, 2026, and continues month-to-month with the potential of a long-term agreement to be assessed after one year.
  • Use of AI-generated imagery or content is prohibited.
  • Either party may terminate the agreement with 14 days of written notice.
  • FOW may terminate immediately if contractor breaches confidentiality, brand guidelines, or professionalism standards.

Time and compensation
