Purdue Foundation Relations builds partnerships between private philanthropic foundations and Purdue scholars, staff, and students, helping to realize their goals and dreams together.

Mission
Our Role
The goal of the Office of Foundation Relations is to assist the university in fulfilling its missions of discovery, learning, and engagement by working in collaboration with schools, centers, and other units to generate financial support for University programs and projects by promoting mutually beneficial relationships with private philanthropic foundations.

Foundation Relations oversees these relationships and manages them strategically and centrally to foster successful identification, cultivation, and solicitation of donor prospects and ensure proper stewardship of their gifts. Our strategy is to advance these relationships, sustaining existing partnerships and building new ones.
