Corporate and Private Foundation Support

Taking Action Together for a Better Future

By supporting UConn’s mission to produce a rich flow of ideas, spark invention and innovation, and improve the quality of life for Connecticut and beyond, you will be making a positive difference at a University level as well as on a regional, national, and global scale.

Corporate Support

The UConn Foundation fosters strong and enduring partnerships between the business community and UConn that create many opportunities for innovation and more. We strive to match our corporate partners’ strategic business goals with UConn’s research, programs, initiatives, and talent — faculty and students — and connect them with our schools and colleges.

Our Corporate team has specific expertise in developing tailored partnerships that have the potential to make a significant impact on your business, the University, and our global community.

Working closely with our university partners, we have developed industry centers located in our new Innovation Partnership Building. Of course, not all of our partnerships are developed into Centers. We are happy to find the right connection and fit to address the needs of your business.

Private Foundation Support

The UConn Foundation builds sustainable, mutually beneficial partnerships between the University and nonprofit foundations that share our research, teaching, and community service missions. Together, we strive to address global challenges in order to make the world a better place.
