Support from foundations and corporations is vital to Lafayette College’s mission of education and research. These contributions open up new areas of inquiry, catalyze better ways of teaching, connect the campus with the community and the world, provide scholarships for students in financial need, assure a diverse population, promote free expression and dialogue, enhance creativity, ensure we have the very best facilities and equipment for our work and study, and much, much more. In sum, foundations and corporations positively touch upon everything we do at Lafayette.

As part of Development and College Relations, Foundation and Corporate Relations optimizes the support to Lafayette from foundation and corporate sources and the benefits to both Lafayette and its contributors. On behalf of the President and the Provost, Foundation and Corporate Relations manages these relationships to meet Lafayette’s institutional priorities. The College’s Strategic Plan guides this determination. The emphasis is on support with the potential for having a lasting impact and attracting further assistance from other sources.
