Foundation Relations
The Foundation Relations team connects ambition with achievement. We help match proposals with funders’ preferences by guiding proposal development and submission. Our aim is to nurture relationships among administrators, deans, faculty, colleges and funders that spark innovation, drive research and empower positive change through MSU. This page will help you explore the unique roles and focus of each team member.
If you’re interested in setting up an introductory call to learn more about opportunities, please contact Chery Moran at moranc@msu.edu.
