Mizzou’s Foundation Relations team helps build lasting partnerships with private funders to fuel the work of faculty and staff and strengthen the university’s impact. We work to:
- Build relationships with funders and potentially connect them with faculty, staff and leadership.
- Identify university programs and projects that may be of interest to foundations and organizations.
- Share insights about funders’ interests and their engagement with Mizzou.
- Ensure communications and materials are tailored to foundation audiences.
- Advise Mizzou’s strategies to cultivate and solicit private funders.
- Oversee stewardship, including acknowledgement letters, grant reports and other updates.
Foundation funding processes can vary widely, and navigating them takes expertise.
That’s where we come in.
The Foundation Relations team is here to support you at every stage, from identifying and applying for funding to stewarding relationships after an award. We’ll help ensure foundations see the impact of their support at Mizzou.
