Working with Corporations

The Tufts CFR team can bring together the university’s resources across schools, departments, programs, and services to help develop the most mutually beneficial relationship possible.

Support from corporations can be in a variety of forms, and usually differs from funding provided by foundations or federal agencies. Our team can answer questions, introduce you to corporations, and help you structure a valuable collaboration.

The diagram below illustrates the different ways corporations can engage with Tufts to achieve their goals.  These include research and development, student recruitment and training, philanthropy, and brand awareness.

Contact the CFR team for assistance with:

• Identifying potential corporate partners for your project
• Providing context on Tufts’ relationship and history with a particular corporation
• Planning a corporate outreach strategy and arranging meetings and campus visits for corporate representatives
• Offering guidance and resources on soliciting sponsorships and charitable gifts
• Preparing proposals or case statements to attract corporate funders
