Corporate & Foundation Advancement

Opportunities for Partnership

Corporations and foundations are key partners and stakeholders in Northeastern University’s mission. The Office of Corporate and Foundation Advancement (CFA) establishes, maintains and deepens the relationships and the growth of mutually beneficial partnerships between the University and corporations and private foundations.

CFA’s mission is to identify and connect prospective donors with University leaders and faculty who have shared interests and goals. Our broad knowledge of the University's teaching, research, and public service activities as well as our familiarity with significant institutional needs for scholarships, endowed faculty positions, and capital support enables us to direct corporate and foundation partners to opportunities best suited to their objectives.

We collaborate actively with other Northeastern departments and divisions, such as the Office of the Provost, the Office of Co-op and Experiential Education, the Office of Research Administration and Finance, and the Office of Technology Innovation and Commercialization to develop effective relationships with University partners.
