Foundation, Corporate & Government Relations
The Office of Foundation, Corporate, and Government Relations (OFCGR) cultivates and maintains relationships with sources of external support for projects consistent with the College’s mission and priorities.
A central activity of the Office is supporting faculty members who wish to find external funding for their research projects. We are ready to research potential funding sources, discuss proposal ideas, review drafts of proposals, and facilitate the submission process.
The Office provides information to the faculty regarding current funding opportunities, proposal writing tips, and on-campus workshops to facilitate the proposal development process.
