Funding your research, scholarship, creative activity, and programs requires looking to a wide variety of funders across your career. Private foundations often are interested in supporting work that federal sponsors may not fund. This session will help you to understand how to best communicate your ideas to this diverse array of private funding organizations. Learn how to identify organizations with missions aligned to your goals and strategies to approach foundations successfully. Speaker: Elizabeth Ocampo, Oregon State University Foundation.
