Conduct Your Own Search

If you would like to explore potential funders on your own, several resources are available to support your search:

Limited Submission Opportunities

Some foundations limit the number of applications or nominations a university may submit. When these restrictions apply, Mizzou uses InfoReady to manage an internal review process and identify proposals with the greatest potential for success. Faculty or staff selected to move forward will partner with Foundation Relations to prepare and submit a competitive application.

If you discover a new opportunity that’s not listed, contact Foundation Relations or Sponsored Programs Administration before proceeding.
