Communicating Funding Opportunities

 Through corporate and philanthropic partnerships, we learn about upcoming funding opportunities and pair those with programs and initiatives on campus. We encourage you to share updates on your work – doing so helps us connect you to opportunities as they arise.

Proposal Development

 We help faculty, researchers, and staff prepare, develop, and review proposals for corporations and charitable foundations. By providing guidance throughout the entire process, we are able to ensure alignment of priorities and help coordinate with external partners.

Coordinating Site Visits

 We appreciate getting to showcase our campus and capabilities, and we frequently host corporate and foundation partners to do just that. Our office can help coordinate site visits by collaborating with various university units and communicating with external partners to ensure a seamless and engaging experience.

Stewardship

We collaborate with faculty to ensure excellent stewardship for all donors by assisting with reporting and follow-up in accordance with donor expectations and agreements. Together, we prepare reports, arrange meetings, and develop presentations for funders.
