For Faculty

We can assist with the development of proposals, grants, and reports. We can also position you with the best private and public partners for your project or interest.

CFR resources for Lehigh faculty 
The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) helps build connections — partnerships — between Lehigh and companies, foundations, and community organizations.

Partnerships can be about research, scholarship, the student experience, the job pipeline, workforce education, philanthropy, and much more.

CFR is part of the Office of Development and Alumni Relations (DAR), working closely with Lehigh’s colleges and our central research enterprise. Our structure keeps us integrated with fundraising and engaged with leadership and staff across the university.

How we can help

• Advise on the best strategies for finding support for your work
• Identify opportunities for private funding

• Support your development of compelling and competitive letters of inquiry and proposals
• Steward partnerships with funders
