Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations

The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) serves as the bridge between the University, the business community, philanthropic foundations, and government funding agencies.  Though the primary role is fundraising to support scholarships, capital campaigns, and campus-wide initiatives, CFR also researches and writes grants, and assists faculty, students, and staff in their efforts to achieve funding.  CFR staff also assists companies and foundations in discovering areas of mutual interest, thus building and strengthening beneficial partnerships with the University.  We also forward grant opportunity alerts (GOA) to university faculty and staff whenever we are made aware of them.  These are usually government programs but are also issued by foundations and corporations.
