About UVA Corporate and Foundation Relations

Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) is a department of University Advancement that supports faculty, programs, and strategic priorities across the university. 

As a resource for those seeking funding from corporate partners and private foundations, we provide technical assistance at every stage of proposal development and preparation, including processing through the Office of Sponsored Programs, as well as post-award support with reporting and stewardship. 

Corporate Relations is a program of the CFR department that helps generate financial support for the university’s priorities by developing mutually beneficial relationships with corporations.
