Private Funding Sources
Private foundations and corporations represent another source of funding. Although private sources tend to be more relaxed about the proposal process, unsolicited proposals to private foundations are rarely funded. Generally, a successful proposal requires an ongoing relationship between the College and the foundation or corporation.
If you have identified a foundation or a corporation as a potential source of funding, please call the Office of Sponsored Research and Foundation Relations for assistance in researching the organization, its history, and its relationship (if any) with Wooster. Together we can develop a strategy for approaching the organization.
