Foundation Relations Team

Operating within Gallaudet University’s Office of Development, our team is fully committed to assisting faculty and staff members who are seeking private funding from foundations and corporations. We are dedicated to fostering relationships with foundations that reflect and support our University’s priorities. We bring funding opportunities to the attention of our University community and respond to requests for assistance from administrators, faculty, and staff members. These partnerships fulfill the foundation’s mission and advance Gallaudet’s mission.
