Corporations and Foundations
Establishing Partnerships for Excellence
Philanthropic support from corporations and foundations takes many forms, including gifts for endowment, faculty support, facilities construction, scholarships and fellowships, research, public outreach, internships, sponsorship, technology transfer, diversity programs, and access to education for under-served audiences.
The Corporate and Foundation Relations staff offers expertise and guidance to members of the University community in funding strategies, prospect identification, proposal review, editing and writing, and in building relationships with corporations and foundations. We promote the development of interdisciplinary partnerships and help coordinate an effective, University-wide approach to corporate and foundation donors and prospects.
