If the proposal is funded, CFR will coordinate with appropriate parties (president, vice president of advancement, and/or dean), and will send a letter acknowledging receipt of the gift on behalf of JMU. If the proposal is not funded, CFR can help coordinate a time to speak with a funder’s program officer to receive feedback on your application, if this is an available service. This is an opportunity to understand what worked and what didn’t. It is also a stewardship activity as it shows you are serious about a future partnership and are willing to put in the effort to make your proposal successful. Additionally, as part of stewardship, CFR often hosts corporate and foundation representatives on campus. These events enable the university community to recognize and thank our partners for their support and to cultivate future philanthropy. To ensure that an event is successful for all participants, CFR works with relevant campus partners and the corporation or foundation representatives. A multi-unit visit may include tours of facilities; meetings with student organizations; or convenings of university leadership and faculty, depending on the interests of the corporation or foundation. If you would like to discuss the stewardship of a particular philanthropic grant, please contact our office first before coordinating activities.
