Corporate & Foundation Relations

Workshops

CFR Toolkit

Do you want to learn a little more about the tools used in CFR work? Need a refresher on how best to use the tools of the trade? Are you in a role where CFR is not your main job function but you are sometimes asked to support faculty members’ interactions with corporations, foundations and other organizational funders? This three-hour workshop is for you! We will go over:

  • UW relationships integral to CFR fundraising success (e.g., OSP, GCA, administrators)
  • GIMs (the grant information memoranda that govern UW sponsored programs)
  • EDW (the UW’s electronic data warehouse)
  • UW publications: what’s out there and how you might use them for CFR work (e.g., the UW Office of Research annual report, UW and UW Foundation financials, etc.)
  • UW vs. UW Foundation

Audience: newer CFR staff, fundraisers. Must have access to the Tandem database. Limited space.

Next workshop: TBD
