The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations acts across academic departments and administrative offices to pave the way for productive collaborations with foundations and corporate partners. We work with internal and external constituents to develop long-lasting relationships with foundations and to build rewarding partnerships with industry.
Our Foundation Relations Officers assist faculty and staff in maximizing non-governmental external funding in support of the university’s academic initiatives, research programs, and institutional priorities, and our Corporate Officers assist faculty, staff, and businesses in building broad, strategic partnerships in areas such as research, recruitment, executive education, and philanthropy.
See Tulane University Policies and Procedures for requesting support from corporations and/or foundations.
