This is a REd Best Practice Network (live) session.

This class will explore private foundations as an option for research funding (gifts and grants), including recent foundation trends, how foundations can be used as a lever for larger federal funding, and examples of success.

Participants will learn about available university resources for strategic approaches to foundations, tips for crafting competitive foundation proposals, and foundation best practices.

REd Best Practice Networks are 1 hour in length with a 15-minute presentation and a 45-minute discussion that are led by subject matter experts. Participants are expected to come prepared with any questions that they may have and to engage in a conversation with the facilitator and their peers.
