How can your office help me?

We can assist you on many levels, from making available our library materials (foundation and other fundraising directories, annual reports of foundations, etc.) to putting a principal investigator (PI) in touch with others at Dartmouth and elsewhere who are involved in similar projects or related research. Because we have ongoing relationships with many foundations, we can share the history of our experience with a particular funder and frequently suggest the best way to make contact. We can also keep the area in which you're working in mind, and contact you if we notice that a particular foundation initiative dovetails with your project. When you have determined, in consultation with your chair, dean, and Foundations Relations officer, to make an approach to a foundation, staff can assist you with proposal writing, budget preparation, and reporting.
