The Foundation Relations team serves as MSU’s bridge to the private foundation community. We focus on building and sustaining relationships with funders to connect the groundbreaking research and innovative programs at MSU with the priorities of philanthropic partners. Whether you’re pursuing support for a university-wide initiative, a research project, or seed funding to launch a new idea, our office is here to help.
If you’d like to explore potential opportunities and learn more about how we can support your work, we invite you to set up an introductory meeting by contacting the Foundation Relations team.
