Corporate and foundation support
Faculty conducting research or other initiatives through the College — such as programmatic support, sponsorships and community engagement activities — may be eligible for private support.
Corporate and Foundation Relations, as well as the Office of Research, help faculty and development staff secure funding for university priorities by identifying and soliciting corporate and foundation partners, developing relationships between the university and these partners, and assisting with the completion of funding requests and reports.
As part of the College — including its associated centers and research unites — you should work with the office of the dean to identify funding sources and obtain support for research, academic and outreach projects. Contact Lois Badey, director of development, at labadey@vcu.edu or Sharon Dawson, director of grants administration at sjdawson@vcu.edu for more information, or visit VCU’s Office of University Advancement to learn about the university process for corporate and foundation funding.
