The College of Education Research Office invites all CED research faculty and staff to attend an upcoming training session hosted by Hanover Research: Navigating the Foundation Funding Landscape.

Private foundations offer vital support for educational research, innovation, and community-engaged projects. However, securing foundation support requires a distinct approach compared to applying for traditional federal grants. This session will provide actionable strategies for identifying aligned foundation prospects, cultivating relationships with program officers, and positioning your research proposals for success.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding current trends and priorities in foundation funding for education.
• Strategies for identifying and evaluating potential foundation donors.
• Best practices for framing project goals to align with philanthropic missions.
• Tips for effective outreach and initial proposal engagement.

Please register in advance using the link above. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing details on how to join the webinar.

If you have any questions or would like support exploring foundation opportunities prior to the session, please reach out to the Research Office.
