Corporate and Foundation Relations
Welcome to Corporate and Foundation Relations,
part of University Advancement at Northeastern University
The Corporate and Foundation Relations team at Northeastern works with corporate and foundation partners to advance research, education, and training programs of mutual interest for the benefit of society.
As a team in University Advancement, we collaborate with colleges and schools, institutes, centers, faculty, and university leaders across all of Northeastern University and with University leadership to support key initiatives and priorities.
We identify common goals by facilitating discussions between corporate and foundation representatives, faculty, academic leadership, and staff.
We accelerate program creation by engaging and liaising with faculty and with corporate and foundation funding partners to navigate Northeastern’s gift, grant, and contracts pathways.
