Foundations Proposal Internal Notification Form
If you are thinking about submitting a proposal to a Foundation, please complete this form.

Michigan Tech's Office of Development, in conjunction with Sponsored Programs, has established this process to assist Michigan Tech staff and faculty in obtaining funding from foundations. Notifying us early that you would like to apply for funding allows us the opportunity to assist you by:

• serving as a clearinghouse for the University to ensure that foundations are not being solicited by several departments at once
• determining that foundations are being asked for an appropriate amount, given their capacity, history and affinity
• suggesting alternative or complementary funding sources
• providing proposal submission assistance, if requested

After this form has been reviewed you will be contacted by a staff member who will assist you with the submission process. The following staff and their general areas of support are listed below:

• Priscilla Khoury - Support for Faculty-Initiated Proposals and Research Proposals
  • Budget Assistance
  • Proposal Submission
  • Proposal Writing
• Kim Codere - Administrative Support for Restricted Programs. Generally those that require a cost share or have terms and conditions attached.
  • Budget Review
  • Proposal Submission

It is important that you work with foundation staff on proposal submission. This allows one staff person to serve as a single point of contact between Michigan Tech and each foundation, improving our relationship with the potential sponsor.
