The Power of Partnership:
Institutional Advancement

The Institutional Advancement Office works with faculty and staff to help match key UMR needs with the giving criteria of corporations and foundations.

How Can We Help?

• Assist in developing project concepts, taking something from an idea to a fundable program
• Research prospective corporate and foundation criteria for funding
• Establish contact and manage relationships with program officers and corporate executives
• Plan and oversee campus visits
• Develop proposals
• Assist with budgeting
• Disseminate information about relevant requests for proposals published by corporations and foundations

If you have a project in mind or want help in creating a proposal, please contact Jay Hesley.
