University of Minnesota Foundation Foundation Engagement and Charitable Grants Team Presentation (June 24 from noon-1pm)
Join us to learn more about how the University of Minnesota Foundation Foundation Engagement and Charitable Grants team partners with University staff to support philanthropic foundation funding opportunities and the administration of charitable grants. Our team helps identify funding opportunities, provides proposal development and submission resources and guidance, coordinates review and acceptance processes, and supports stewardship and monitoring throughout the life of an award. We also offer consultation on philanthropic funding strategy, foundation engagement, and fund management to help ensure awards are administered in alignment with donor intent and University/Foundation policies. In addition, we collaborate closely with the University’s Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA) on certain awards that require a 501(c)(3) recipient but are ultimately managed as sponsored projects due to the nature of the terms, activities, or compliance requirements.
