Corporate and Foundation Relations

Corporate and Foundation Relations Banner

The Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) team at PSU Foundation works with faculty, staff and campus leaders to build meaningful partnerships that advance PSU’s mission. We collaborate with corporations, private foundations, and philanthropic organizations to fuel research, student success, community engagement, and transformative initiatives across the university. We do this in close partnership with PSU’s Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA), faculty partners, and other development colleagues.
