The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations has as its primary mission the coordination of all relationships between the College and corporations and foundations in order to maximize financial support for the objectives of the institution.
About Us
Support from foundations and corporations is crucial to fostering and sustaining the unique educational experience that defines Kalamazoo College. Our work ensures that the College remains both a positive force within the Kalamazoo community and the higher education landscape by building and maintaining strong relationships with our partners. Collaborating closely with the College’s administration and the Office of the Provost, we focus on institutional priorities, including capital projects, scholarships, equipment, endowments, and curricular and programmatic initiatives.
In a rapidly changing landscape, we are committed to proactively seeking out opportunities that align with both the College’s mission and the needs of our local and global community. Our stewardship extends beyond securing grants; we prioritize transparency and collaboration, working closely with campus and community partners to ensure that all grants are managed with integrity and accountability.
