The Corporate & Foundation Relations team partners with faculty and staff from all colleges and units at UMSL in pursuing funding from corporations and private foundations.

Our team offers a variety of services from preparing the best proposal to connecting with foundation program staff to advising on strategies to attain funding. We can also help determine if a corporate partner is right for you and for the business goals of the company.

The CFR team primarily prioritizes efforts related to UMSL’s strategic plan and other major initiatives designated as priorities by university leadership. However, many projects are worthy of funding. Members of the UMSL community seeking to submit a proposal for funding are encouraged to contact the CRF team and use the resources provided on this page.

Before reaching our externally or submitting an application, please contact the CFR team as UMSL maintains a list of centrally managed corporate and foundation funders.

Contact Elizabeth Lanier-Shipp for more information.
