Corporate and Foundation Relations
The mission of the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations (OCFR) is to generate private financial support from corporations and foundations for priorities at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
A key unit within the Office of the Associate Chancellor for Development, OCFR works collaboratively with colleges and other units at UIC, and with sister institutions in the University of Illinois, to facilitate the creation and maintenance of mutually beneficial corporate and foundation partnerships.
OCFR serves the university by:
- Identifying potential matches between UIC initiatives and funding organizations
- Providing prospective applicants with research assistance, strategic guidance, and proposal coordination
- Serving as the central point of contact for foundations and corporations that accept a single institutional proposal
- Serving as the internal coordination point for integrated UIC proposals
- Working in partnership with the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research to expand the field of potential funding sources
- Taking full advantage of the resources and services of the University of Illinois Foundation
The Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) office helps in matching UIC projects and programs with companies and foundations that seek partners in order to realize their research, education, employee recruitment and social responsibility objectives. Projects of interest to corporations or foundations may include international programs, healthcare access, K-12 education, online learning, sustainable energy, entrepreneurship, community development and many others. Please review the following top foundations /corporations to see if your program or project is a match with their giving guidelines. If it is a match, please complete this form and submit it to the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations Office.
If you are interested in a foundation not in the top foundations/corporations list above, please contact OVCR’s Office of Research Development Services (RDS) at RDS@uic.edu.
