Faculty Success Workshop: Demystifying the Process of Obtaining Funding from Foundations

Wednesday, February 4, 2026 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM EST
Zoom

The Faculty Success Workshop Series is a collaboration between Faculty Affairs and Research Development Services in ORIEI. The next Faculty Success Workshop Series: Demystifying the Process of Obtaining Funding from Foundations will be on Zoom on February 4th from 1:30-3pm. 

External funding is often essential for faculty research, scholarship, and creative activity.  Private foundations have always served as important sources of support, especially for topic areas outside federal funding agency priorities.  Writing a foundation grant application often involves more than a straightforward project description; these applications must also be strategically targeted and tailored to foundation priorities.   
In this session successful George Mason foundation grant awardees, along with our GMU Director of Foundation Relations, will share their experiences and tips for submitting foundation applications.  Attendees will also learn about university rules of engagement with foundations and gain insight on best practices for foundation grant writing.

Registration is required.
