Connecting faculty and staff with private funders

Foundation Relations

Partnering to secure foundation support

The Foundation Relations team connects Mizzou faculty and staff with private funders who share the university’s commitment to discovery, learning and service.

As part of Mizzou Advancement, we manage the university’s relationships with charitable foundations and other private organizations. Our team collaborates with individual researchers, academic units and campus programs to pursue nongovernmental funding that fuels their work. Our role is to complement — not duplicate — resources located in academic departments and research units, offering expertise to increase your chances for success.
