Corporate and Foundation Giving

What We Do

The Office of Corporate & Foundation Relations is responsible for planning, implementing, and evaluating a comprehensive program to build mutually beneficial partnerships with and to secure gift and grant income from foundations and public charities as well as from select associations and other organizations.

Major activities of the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Maintaining positive working relationships with foundations that are currently supporting or that may have the potential to support UNT Health.
• Serving as a point-of-contact as well as a central clearing point for gift and grant requests to foundations to ensure requests align with funder interests and priorities and to prevent duplicate efforts.
• Identifying needs that may be met by foundation support through consultation and collaboration with the Provost, Vice President for Research and Innovation, Deans, Associate Deans for Research, Chairs, faculty members, and University Advancement colleagues among others.
• Convening relevant faculty members to discuss and develop strategies for foundation engagement and funding opportunities.
• Coordinating foundation campus visits as well as external meetings with foundation representatives.
• Coordinating university-level and multi-college initiatives for which foundation funding is sought.
• Providing advice/guidance on proposal development and submission.
• Identifying and disseminating foundation funding opportunities to relevant Associate Deans for Research, faculty members, and College Directors of Development.
