The Office of Institutional Partnerships (IP) serves as the primary liaison for University faculty, staff, and administrators to engage and collaborate with corporations, foundations, and government agencies.
We support University programming, department initiatives, faculty research, and student success by actively pursuing philanthropic and government funding and partnerships.
For companies or foundations, we facilitate connections with faculty or programming that aligns with your interests and priorities, fostering mutually beneficial and enduring partnerships.
If you are a faculty or staff member at the University, we can assist you in identifying and approaching funding sources, as well as developing proposals or other application materials. Contacting the IP team before reaching out to government agencies, foundations, or corporations allows us to strategize the best approach for you, providing essential background information, connections, and templates for the process.
