The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations at Stetson University serves a vital function: to build bridges between the University, the business community, philanthropic foundations, and government funding agencies. Although the primary role is fundraising to support scholarships, capital campaigns, and campus-wide initiatives, the staff also serves as grant writers, researchers, community liaisons, and assists faculty, staff, and students in their efforts to achieve funding.

Corporate and Foundation Relations assists companies and foundations in discovering areas of mutual interest to help them form beneficial partnerships with Stetson University. The office provides a single point of contact between corporations and foundations and Stetson faculty and staff. In doing so, Corporate and Foundation Relations supports University efforts to build and strengthen relationships with corporations and foundations.

Please note:

All faculty and staff seeking external funding must first complete an External Funding Application and submit it to the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations. (For details, see Preparing Your Proposal.)
