The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) builds relationships with corporations and foundations to secure philanthropic financial resources and meaningful partnerships for the University of Hartford’s institutional goals and priorities. CFR is part of the Office of Institutional Advancement’s overall advancement mission. We work to match the University of Hartford’s strengths and needs with corporations and foundations by identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding potential partners. Involvement with the University allows our corporate and foundation partners to gain visibility on campus as employers, community advocates, and participants in innovative experiential and community-based learning opportunities for our students.
Supporting Faculty, Administrators, and Staff
The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations serves as a liaison between the University of Hartford and our corporate and foundation partners. We will work with you to identify potential charitable donors for a project or program, research the funding interests and giving histories of potential corporate and/or foundation partners that have already been identified, and help cultivate and solicit corporate and foundation donors. We can assist in reviewing and editing proposal materials as well as gathering support materials required for grant submissions. For more information about how we can help, please contact us here.
