Corporate & Foundation Partnerships with Faculty

The Corporate and Foundations Relations team at UNC Health Foundation partners with UNC School of Medicine faculty to help advance research and programmatic priorities through strategic corporate and foundation support.

We work alongside you to identify opportunities and strengthen proposals—bringing insight into funder priorities and helping position your work for success. Our team can assist with:

  • Identifying aligned corporate and foundation opportunities
  • Developing timelines and next steps for submission
  • Reviewing and strengthening proposals and materials
  • Preparing for funder conversations and site visits
  • Supporting stewardship and ongoing funder engagement

We also provide guidance on funder-specific strategies and best practices to help ensure your work is both competitive and compelling.
